Hey, everyone!
I am writing this email from Knoxville, Tennessee while packing for a weekend trip to Chattanooga, where Stevie is attending a work retreat. I am looking forward to experiencing a new destination, though I won't be approaching the trip with a "must-see-everything" focus — Robert and I are going to take it easy, which means we may not end up seeing much at all. Sometimes, that's OK — even for an accessible travel blogger!
Truth be told, I am still a bit tired after kayaking earlier this week — for only my second time as a wheelchair user! Kayaking is a wonderful form of exercise (which I admittedly don't do enough of), and it is fun to enjoy nature. If you haven't tried adaptive kayaking, I encourage you to search for organizations in your area that may offer it. Here in Knoxville and in other cities in the Southeast, Catalyst Sports does an excellent job making the outdoors accessible.
New Accessible Travel Guide — Nuremberg, Germany
A snafu with Deutsche Bahn left me stranded in Nuremberg (and separated from my family) for three days, so I used it as an opportunity to explore the city! The result is my latest Wheelchair Accessible Travel Guide — its contains information about places to stay, things to do and how to get around Nuremberg, the 1,000-year-old city with a picturesque medieval old town, notable museums and an impressive public transit network. Check it out here:

Over the years, I have worked diligently to develop accessible travel guides to cities around the world — there are now more than 60 destination guides! You can research the destinations that I have written about here:

One reader recently reached out to ask if I would share more about destinations in the United States. I have written extensively about U.S. destinations, but here are three that I've picked to highlight today — one city from each of the four time zones in the contiguous United States:

The Wheelchair Travel Group Trip to Morocco sold out, but more opportunities are around the corner!
The demand for accessible travel is strong! I know that many free subscribers were hoping to receive an email on Tuesday with an opportunity to book into the December 2025 Wheelchair Travel Group Trip to Morocco, but paid members claimed all of the available spots — including five travelers who have joined at least one of my previous tours!
To make sure that you don't miss out on future opportunities to join a Wheelchair Travel Group Trip, please upgrade your subscription! In addition to early access to group tours, you'll enjoy other benefits like access to exclusive content and limited ads on WheelchairTravel.org.
I am looking forward to the four remaining group trips this year — Greece in June and September, Spain in September, and Morocco in December! Next year, I plan to offer even more wheelchair accessible group trips, and I hope you will be able to join me! I personally travel with and lead every group to ensure that my team delivers a memorable experience.
What's next
On Monday, I will start my second journey Greece of 2025, where I look forward to welcoming a group of travelers from the United States and Australia. Even though I took this same trip just last month, I am extremely excited for it — Greece is an incredible destination, and the Wheelchair Travel tour groups are full of amazing people. No two tours are ever the same, and that's what makes this work fun!
Look out for a message from me next week, and I hope you enjoy the weekend!
All the best,
— John
