    • Hi. We are just beginning to plan a trip to Romania for 2027. I use a rollator and sometimes a scooter. Not dure if i should bring the scooter. We are particularly interested in making our way to my grandfather’s birthplace of Botosani. Does anyone have any experience with that journey? I’d appreciate any information at all. Thanks so much.

      • Hi Robin!

        I am Cristina, nice to meet you, and happy to hear about your travel plans to Romania.

        We can help with the transportation in an adapted minivan, and finding an accessible accommodation in Botosani or nearby. Alsi, if you would like to visit places en route to Botosani, just let us know.

      • Japan outside of the big cities

        Outside of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, what places are you interested in visiting in Japan?

        Has accessibility made it hard to get to them?

        Love

          • I’m in Japan right now, landed today, headed to Kobe, Okayama, Kyoto, Nagoya and Chiba. So far, assistance from JR has been great. I would have definitely been overwhelmed by the trains without it on my first day. Some trips and classes that I wanted to sign up for were not available for wheelchair users but I did manage to find some that work…

          • Wheelchair Accessible Entrance in Google Maps

            Hello, in looking for wheelchair-friendly spots I’m curious how useful / accurate Google Maps “Wheelchair-Accessible Entrance” flag is, especially for Tokyo restaurants and coffeehouses (pink circled icon, you can also filter by those that are.) Any opinions/insights/findings from others?

            Love

            • From experience, I feel that in general it errs towards caution and places are by default set to be “not accessible” until marked as “accessible”. So, if it has the mark it should be ok, but if it has a “not” mark, it could mean it is not accessible, or just not yet verified.

              You may also want to check out the WheeLog app as well.
