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
Daily Perspective
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
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!

What is less known, however, are the reasons why we went this time and what we got up to. I was kindly invited by the Catalan Tourist Board to speak at their conference… Continue Reading

Tenerife is situated in the Canary Islands. Some might say it is a tiny bit of land off of West Africa. For me it is a lot more! I’ve visited this wonderful island many times and simply love it. My first trip was with my family when i was aged 8 years. We returned many… Continue Reading
An Accessible Whirlwind in Madrid
In my last post I talked you through the Accessible Tourism conference I spoke at in Spain. Now I want to share with you how I got on in Madrid outside of my professional responsibilities. Kasia and I were fortunate to have our flights, hotel, hoist hire, and conference entrance covered by Once foundation, because… Continue Reading
