Accessible Travel with Someone Who Gets It

Traveling with a disability comes with unique challenges—ones that aren’t always obvious until you’re in the middle of them. I know this, because I live it. I have cerebral palsy and I’m visually impaired, and I often travel with friends who are totally blind, some with service animals. That perspective shapes how I plan travel—not just as an agent, but as someone who’s walked (and sometimes stumbled) through those same challenges.

I’ve been there: frozen on a pier because the concrete changed color and I wasn’t sure if I was about to step off a ledge. I’ve struggled to guide a blind friend through a crowded ship buffet. I’ve felt the uncertainty of international accessibility and the relief when a cruise line or resort gets it right.

But I’ve also found joy in those unforgettable, bucket-list moments. I discovered my love for snorkeling on a shallow reef—nervous at first, but now I’m one of the first in the water and the last to leave. I watched my best friend—totally blind—light up while playing with a dolphin and sea lion, reaching out to touch a stingray, and meeting a beluga whale.

And I’ll never forget my first dolphin swim. Cerebral palsy made it tough for me to set my legs properly for the “foot push,” where two dolphins push you across the pool. After my first failed attempt, it would’ve been easy for the staff to say, “It’s not safe.” Instead, one trainer took me aside, worked with me patiently, and gave me the chance to try again. This time, I did it—and it was the coolest feeling in the world.

Those moments are why I do what I do. I don’t just want to book your trip—I want to help you discover the experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime. Whether it’s your first trip or your fiftieth, whether you travel with a cane, a chair, or a service animal, I’m here to help you take that step—to not just dream about bucket-list adventures, but to actually live them.

Because for me, accessibility isn’t just a checkbox. It’s about opening doors to the world—and making sure you feel ready to walk through them.
