Under my email signature it says ‘World Changer’. A very grand statement that can appear arrogant or apply an unnecessary amount of pressure. However my interpretation and intention is neither of these. At the moment I’m trying to arrange transport in Poland for December. It’s so we can see my Kasia’s parents over Christmas this… Continue Reading
SMA Awareness Week
For those of you not aware, this week is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Week! SMA is the name given to my disability. So it made sense to write something about it and raise some awareness myself 🙂 The cause of SMA is all rather sciency. And no its not related to the baby milk… Continue Reading
Visiting Homelands Trust in Scotland
I’m often found on social media discussing accessible travel, and inclusion in general. It’s less usual to find accessible accommodation vendors mingling in the same social media buzz. So when Jan Kerr from Homelands trust in Fife kept appearing in the same facebook groups, I was very interested to hear more about their luxury accommodation… Continue Reading
Sci Fi Inclusion

Accessible Poland
Having arrived from our long drive from Spain, we recovered in the beautiful nature of West Poland. I also caught up on my work, and managed to read a book or two – which is unusual! I was asked by Lonely Planet to present on a couple of their #TravelforAll Periscopes. Unfortunately the Periscope comments… Continue Reading
Gondolas4All in Venice
One of the highlights from this trip has to be going in a Gondola! Venice was such a beautiful and historic city. Naturally the Italian food was delicious. However to adapt a gondola for a 130kg wheelchair is unthinkable. As you’ll see once again – everything is possible. You can watch all the action in… Continue Reading
