Hi! I am David from north Wales, I have Spina Bifida and have been a manualwheelchair user for over 50 years.
I travelled a lot until I was diagnosed with renal failure in 2012 (I was ill for over a year before that so probably had it longer.)
I started travelling again earlier this year but only for weekends now as I am tied to the hospital Mon, Wed, & Fri mornings for dialysis. I started a blog about my travels and there is a post on there listing my wheelchair travels over the last 40+, along with more detailed blogs about my recent weekend trips and day trips.
Lots more ideas for trips in the future when I can find the energy, renal failure is very fatiguing.
Anyway you can find my blog at https://www.weekender.blog/

Instead of listing countries that you have had visits from, it will be easier to write countries you HAVEN’T had visits from! It will now be a shorter list! Congratulations!

Last week my website became 1 year old, along with all the expenses of renewing my domain, webhosting, email, security certificate etc. which costs quite a bit more than the initial year expenses… And coincidentally today, as I was preparing this post I received a visitor from the 200th country to visit my blog! I thought it was the 197th but when I downloaded a list to sort in to alphabetical order I was pleasantly surprised to find 200. 🙂
It comes as no surprise that the most visitors come from the United Kingdom (I am from Wales but the internet doesn’t recognise Wales, Scotland and England as countries in their own right) and in second place the United States, but surprising (to me) is that third and fourth places go to Guatemala and Fiji respectively. Canada rounds out the top five.

Afghanistan
Albania
Algeria
