anyone else get frustrated that just as accessible tourism is starting to (veeeery slowly) take off, all the conversations are about over tourism?
It may just be in Japan (where there is a huge surge of tourism), but it feels like we’ve finally started to get what everyone else has been able to get only to be made to feel…

I don’t see a connection…yet. It’s just that some places are just sick and tired of idiot tourists causing problems. And, it’s not just Japan.

(Hey, we can be douchebags like people without disabilities, too. lol)

For many people, traveling with a disability brings with it a wide set of additional costs that a non-disabled person would never even consider. We thought it might be interesting to ask about these extra costs and ask you, the audience, what it costs for you to travel as a disabled person.

I’m from CA.
At home, the state pays for my in-home personal care assistant (PCA). When I travel, the PCA can’t travel with me. So, I have to pay for a PCA ‘out of pocket’ just to help me for two hours each day.
