Another awesome episode! I really want to try out that park in New York! I often look up wheelchair repair at my destination, but also really like the idea of taking a small tool pouch as well!- View 1 reply

A good primer on flying. I would add to remember to check if your meds are legal in the country you are visiting or transiting through. Also, find a wheelchair repair company at your destination in case they do break your mobility device.

Nice article, but two things jumped out for me.
I have never heard of a “special declaration of interest” before. I don’t know how many travelers with disabilities know this even exists.

Hi guys, going to Japan on 19th!! Excited.
I am a Right Above knee amputee and will be moving around on a prosthetic. My query is whether the Japanese culture of asking visitors to remove shoes will affect my travels a lot. Do popular tourist places /restaurants request you to remove shoes?
And how strict are they regards to this, especially…

Woohoo! That is so exciting!
You may want to post this in the “Discussions” tab of the group so it doesn’t get pushed down out of sight by other updates

Hi Rohan, hopefully you can repost this under discussions to be able to get more visibility on your question. I am a part time wheel chair user so different from your situation. In situations where an able person would take their shoes off, I would have been asked to take mine off as well and they would have someone wipe down my wheelchair so… Read more
