I became hooked on traveling while studying in University. The terms could not end soon enough so I could take off to a new destination. It wasn't long until I realized that planning an accessible trip takes a LOT of planning and research. In fact, I often found myself planning one trip before I had even left for another. Each trip involved long hours looking for accessible resources, such as accessible hotels, medical equipment rentals, van rentals, tours, etc. In my research, I came across many accessible travel websites that posted travel tales from people with disabilities. While they were often helpful, I found that many -- if not most -- of the reviews were written by people with more mobility than myself. Many were able to transfer out of their wheelchairs on their own or even walk a few steps, so they had no problem transferring into a car seat or a bathtub, or even folding up their wheelchair and climbing aboard a bus. As an electric wheelchair user with C4 quadriplegia, it was clear to me that their definition of "accessibility" was a lot different than mine. So, I decided to start up my own accessible travel web site complete with travel reviews, pictures, and travel tips that I had picked up in my own travels. I thought my experiences might be useful for all travelers -- those with minor mobility challenges and those who require a higher standard of "accessibility." A few months later, World On Wheelz was born!
