I received a phone call this week asking if I would like to run 250 meters in the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay – I couldn’t say YES fast enough. I’m so excited to be able to take part in the relay which is allowing 7,000 people across Canada to be part of something momentous. It’s [...]

Something I’m asked a lot about as both an expert on accessible travel and as a travel consultant is when is the best time to book your next vacation. Is it better to book early or wait until the wee hours before you’re suppose to be heading South and look online? I will say in [...]

I was doing a presentation with the BC Paraplegic Association when I informally met Dean and his wife. I have them to thank for inspiring this blog post and for reminding me that travel doesn’t have to be to the other side of the world, but that showing their son Legoland could be just as rewarding as [...]

It took me a while to get this blog post out because I really couldn’t figure out which story I wanted to tell. Jason and I have been so blessed to see so much of this world and in our travels we have learned that together there isn’t much we can’t accomplish. I know it’s [...]

I’ve done a review on getting around Rome in a wheelchair, but I thought I would tell you about our first cruise to the Mediterranean. It didn’t start out so smoothly but ended up being a heck of an adventure! One day while I was at the office Jason received an email about a Mediterranean cruise. It was [...]

I had my first official webinar with the BC Paraplegic’s Association last night, once it’s edited and ready to go I’ll post it on here, it was so much fun. I love being able to inspire people to travel. To show anyone the world isn’t a “no fly zone,” even though it has radically changed. As [...]

  Jason and I have seen some amazing things in our six years travelling together. I’m about to give my first talk at GF Strong, our local SCI rehab center, encouraging those who are newly  injured to eventually go out and see the world. I do think everyone needs to be realistic about their limitations, [...]

I can’t believe it’s been a year. Honestly. Where has the time gone?! I want to thank you all for your unwavering support in 2011 as I’ve transitioned from a Donor Relations Coordinator to a Cruise & Travel Consultant Specializing in Accessible Travel.  The doors that have opened this year have not been by chance. [...]

Jason and I have often commented on how many of our favourite cruises required us to fly VERY long distances with stressful connections. The last two big stops on our list, Africa and Asia, won’t be any exception. Between the stress of multiple and often short connections (It’s what you get when you book on [...]

“O Rome! my country! city of the soul!” -Lord Byron Lord Byron and I agree about Rome. It’s a city which keeps a piece of my soul. Some find the city touristy; others find the hustle and bustle comforting. For us it is beautiful – it is history wrapped in culture and accented by fantastic food. What [...]
