About Us
Before the world was hit by the pandemic, Cheryl and I embarked on a journey to shed light on accessible travel. Our adventure began from a place of frustration, as we constantly grappled with the lack of clear, helpful information needed to make informed travel decisions.
Take, for example, a cruise line we came across that proudly announced the availability of beach wheelchairs on their private island. However, the essential details—how to obtain these wheelchairs, the activities you could do with them, and the costs involved—were conspicuously absent.
Recognizing that these were crucial pieces of information that anyone in our community would need, we decided to dive in and start providing answers. Our goal has always been to make travel more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, breaking down barriers one question at a time.
Feel free to connect with us and dive deeper into the world of accessible travel through our adventures and insights. Catch up with us on our social media and let's make travel inclusive together!

Meet Cheryl
I have Marfan's Syndrome and as a result, most of my back is fused. Along with that I have had multiple joint replacements. As a result, traveling can be a challenge.
I cannot be scanned at the airport without setting off the alarms. My wheelchair and I always have to manually inspected, but I am used to that.
While I love to travel, being on camera is not my favorite thing. But Ken affectionately calls me his prop, and knows how to brings a smile to my face.
I will say this, we can go to amazing places and have fun even though I have unique challenges.
Meet Ken
This is a rare picture of me, I am usually behind the camera taking pictures of my beautiful wife. Â
We travel a lot, and people think it must be like being on vacation. But we work to capture pictures and videos that show the answers to common questions about traveling with challenges.
Our other enjoyable task is to review meals and restaurant accessibility. When there are more than three choices per day, we may have to do double duty. Â
Why else am I smiling? The sculpture next to me is chocolate and I am looking for a fork.
