Fernando de Noronha, after ten years a great surprise: finally accessible.
What a great experience it was this time returning to Fernando de Noronha and find that previous obstacles for us wheelchair users, no longer exist. Exactly ten years ago I almost went crazy looking for a hotel that would accommodate me. It was beyond difficult just trying to put luggage in a buggy and trying to deal with a rude taxi driver who did not hide his prejudice for the disabled people … Result of last trip: A lot of effort and exhausting effort even taking a shower, trying to get through a bathroom door only 0.60m wide with my wheelchair let alone participating in any […]

Traveling to Missouri
byLigia Andrade (Zuniga), M.A. Traveling alone to a destination you have never traveled to, knowing no one but one person, and they don’t even know you’re coming is pretty scary, right? Imagine adding being a quadriplegic to that equation. Now it seems even scarier. Well, it is very scary, but totally doable, because I did […]
On Safari in a Wheelchair: Inclusive Tourism in KwaZulu Natal
Scott Rains, Rolling Rains Report srains@oco.net I travel a lot – more than most other quadriplegics that I know. Even so when I first look up at the sky on every trip to the southern hemisphere I am temporarily disoriented. It’s not like I am a celestial navigator. I couldn’t find my way home from […]
Latin America for all: Making the impossible possible!

Almost five years ago, I had a horseback riding accident that left me with a paraplegia […]
