Travel style

Teenage shoestring backpacker (which turns out my nervous system hated!) now luxury traveler. I love to be immersed in culture and history as long as that includes accessibility and a super comfy hotel room for rest days, plus easy access to nature for my nervous system. I am passionate about disability travel and allowing people with chronic illness and disability to enjoy the world in a nervous-system-supporting way.
