Thank you to everyone who responded to our recent post about myths surrounding accessible travel! 🌍💬 Your insights are invaluable, and the thoughtful comments shared are helping to break down barriers and misconceptions. A few standout points (with some coming from various groups on Facebook): 🔸 "That accessibility = wheelchair-friendly." As Nóri mentioned, accessibility involves so much more than wheelchairs. There are diverse needs that deserve recognition and consideration. 🔸 "That acquiring a disability means your travel days are over." Both Amy Tarpein and Anthony William (The World is Accessible) highlighted this misconception. Travel is possible, and together, we can show that life—and adventures—don’t stop with a disability.

Thomas is passionate about food. As a classically trained chef, he cares deeply about finding great places to eat when traveling. Thomas uses a wheelchair after a motorcycle accident several years ago. Now, Thomas sometimes struggles to find places—on his travels—that are appropriate for his wheelchair and that meet his needs. That’s why Thomas joined the ‘Foodie Connect’ group on tabifolk—so that he can find answers and suggestions for accessible food spots ahead of his next journey. What’s more, with there being a group of like-minded food enthusiasts, he’s also getting first-hand information about what’s good to try in various regions of the world. Be more like Thomas.

I need one that has an accessible bathroom stall.” Another speech bubble appears, asking: “What’s that one MUST TRY dish from South Africa? I’m heading there soon and I really want to try something new!” The compass-style icon in the top left corner highlights the theme of accessible travel.

If you’re traveling alone and you’re a wheelchair user, what do you do to ensure that you can transport your luggage safely and easily? [Image Description: A digital illustration featuring three characters against a black and green background with text that reads "@tabifolk Holiday Tips and Trick. Share your Packing Tips!"
