Accessible travel lacks barriers and roadblocks, is inclusive and equivalent, and focuses us on the tourist activity at hand, rather than the disappointment of missed opportunities.

Popular Topics
I use my lived experience as a business owner, global traveler and disabled person to share messages of opportunity with a variety of audiences. Here are some topics that I have focused on in the past:
- Opening Your World — Unlock the secrets to traveling with a disability, learn best practices for overcoming barriers to accessibility and be inspired to encounter the possibilities of local, domestic and international travel with a wheelchair or other form of disability.
- The Business of Accessible Travel — 20% of Americans have some form of disability and 63% are connected to someone who does. Gain knowledge and tools to compete for the more than $17 billion spent each year on business and leisure travel by people with disabilities.
- Facing Adversity to Seize Opportunity — Finding success in the aftermath of unexpected developments is one of life’s greatest challenges. Learn how adapt and create opportunity, even in the midst of seemingly impossible odds.
