Over the past few years, I’ve visited some pretty amazing destinations in California, such as San Diego, Disneyland, Palm Springs, and Yosemite National Park to name a few. However, one place that I have wanted to visit forever, but never did until very recently, is Sonoma Valley. I have heard so many wonderful things about Sonoma Valley, and never a single bad thing, so I was excited to finally experience wheelchair accessible Sonoma for myself recently!  For three days, I enjoyed Sonoma Valley’s accessible offerings, from fantastic wineries to unique attractions. Somehow, it was exactly ..read more

Over the past few years, I’ve been able to experience some of America’s greatest national parks. I’ve seen black bears in the Great Smoky Mountains, found accessible hiking trails in Shenandoah, sat in awe of the Grand Canyon, rolled on the famous Carriage Roads of Acadia National Park, and more. But despite how incredible other national parks are, nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of wheelchair accessible Yosemite National Park. Without a doubt, I can say that Yosemite National Park is one of the most stunning places I’ve ever visited.  Recently, I stayed in Tuolumne County a ..read more

Pensacola is a destination that I have visited numerous times, but on each trip, I discover new attractions and experiences that I haven’t previously enjoyed. This destination has so much to offer and I am constantly amazed by how wheelchair accessible Pensacola is!  Whether I’m lounging on the beach in a beach wheelchair (these are available in multiple locations throughout Pensacola), exploring one of the many museums in the city, watching in awe as the Blue Angels take flight, or something else, I fall a little more in love with Pensacola, Florida during each trip. If you are looking f ..read more

As someone that has lived in the southeastern United States for most of my life, whenever I think of beach destinations, I immediately think of Florida. My mind starts dreaming of visiting places like Panama City Beach, Clearwater, or Miami to name a few. But what if I told you that one of the best wheelchair accessible beach destinations in the country is actually in Texas?! Trust me, I never thought of Texas as being a beach destination until my recent visit to Galveston, but it is truly a special place.  Recently, I had the chance to spend a few days in Galveston, Texas and I was amaze ..read more

I visited Chicago for the first time back in 2010 with my mom. During that trip, we stuffed our faces with deep-dish pizza, explored Navy Pier, and we even attended a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Needless to say, it was a special trip, but we’ve been wanting to revisit the Windy City for quite a few years now. On that first trip to Chicago, we were only there for a few days, so we didn’t get to see a lot of the popular attractions. Recently though, we had the chance to revisit Chicago and this time, we were on a mission to see as much of the city as possible!  My mom and I at The Opr ..read more

Arizona is one of my favorite states. I am a huge fan of the warm weather, the natural beauty of the desert, and I always fall a little more in love with Arizona during every trip that I take. So far, I’ve seen the majesty of the Grand Canyon, toured around Tempe, and seen some of Phoenix’s best sights, but I had never explored the city of Mesa and honestly, I didn’t really know anything about Mesa until very recently. However, as soon as I heard that Wheel the World is now offering wheelchair accessible self-guided trips in Mesa, I was intrigued.  I’ve traveled with Wheel the World in v ..read more

As someone that absolutely loves warm weather and beaches, south Florida is one of my favorite areas in the United States, but until very recently, I had never explored Greater Fort Lauderdale. This area encompasses 31 cities and municipalities in south Florida, so there is certainly a lot to experience. I am so happy that I was finally able to enjoy it over the course of five days. While you could definitely stay in Greater Fort Lauderdale much longer and probably never get bored because there’s so much to do, five days was enough time for me to enjoy some of the best wheelchair accessible th ..read more

As a wheelchair user and frequent traveler, I’ve explored some remarkable places throughout Europe in my lifetime. I have gone hot air ballooning over Catalonia, rolled through ancient ruins in Italy with an all-terrain wheelchair, and hiked on accessible trails in Estonia to name a few of my most memorable moments. Despite all my incredible experiences in Europe though, I was in awe of Switzerland’s accessibility during my recent trip with the accessible tour company Claire & George. After eight days in Switzerland with them, I fully believe that it might be the most wheelchair ..read more

As a wheelchair user and frequent traveler, I have booked hundreds, maybe thousands, of hotel stays throughout my life. With each hotel stay, I have relied on information on the hotel’s website and calling them to verify accessibility. If I had to guess, I’d say that approximately 50% of the rooms that I’ve ever booked were as accessible as I needed. It has been a constant battle for me to find an adequate room when traveling and it’s been even more challenging to get information about the accessibility of each hotel room. But all of that is changing thanks to a company known as Wheel the ..read more

Everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy a trip to the beach without worry. Lack of accessibility, however, can put a serious damper on things. Beach wheelchairs are the ticket to smooth and simple transport across the sand, and in some cases, even the surf!

I’m here to help you find the best beach wheelchair for you, tailored to your needs and preferences. Let’s get started!
