Our family likes to travel. A lot. But traveling with a wheelchair often involves thinking about things like:
For a while I had a blog called “The Wheel Traveler” and many of these posts (through September 2019) were housed there. So if you arrived here from a former Wheel Traveler link, welcome! Most of what you’re looking for is here.
Whether you’re looking for budget travel ideas, wheelchair accessible activities or just an idea of what to expect when you visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, we’ve got you covered 🙂
The Food for Life Project started in 2005 with one man, Adi Purusha Das, who saw hungry people in a Manhattan park and decided to cook for them.
Taking a road trip across the United States is a fun way to see the country. With a little planning, you can see a lot AND keep everyone in the car happy.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Hollywood does a good job making rides and shops wheelchair accessible and loads of fun for Hogwarts fans.
San Francisco is an expensive place. But there's always a lot to do, and if you know how to look for deals, there's free fun to be found.
Spokane, Washington probably doesn't come to mind when you think of great vegan food, but it has a growing number of restaurants with meat free options.
White water rafting in the Canadian Rockies makes for a cold but fun weekend adventure, especially with nearby hot springs to warm you up.
The town of Solvang is a great launching off point for plenty of fun outdoor adventure in and around the Santa Ynez Valley.
Just up the coast from Santa Barbara, the Danish town of Solvang is a great Central Coast escape for sightseeing, wine tasting, bakeries and more in the Santa Ynez Valley.
The magical Christmas light celebration in Leavenworth, Washington is an annual tradition worth experiencing, with festivities lasting the entire month of December.
While the journey can sometimes be better than the destination, sometimes it's just a necessary evil to get you from one point to another.
Visiting Manhattan can be a culture shock, but there is so much to love about New York City. Here are 10 reasons why I keep going back.
The Christmas celebration in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho is a yearly tradition that includes fireworks, a parade, and more than 1.5 million lights.
What do you call it when the flight attendant pulls you and your kids aside to say that your family can't board the plane? Worst vacation ever.
With more than 30 completely vegan restaurants and hundreds more with vegan options, I think it's safe to say Portland, Oregon is a great place for vegan food.
Take a haunted hike on Wildwood Trail to see the Witch's Castle in Portland. The path is relatively flat and easy, but there are a few steep inclines for wheelchairs.
Before the Doctor Who Experience closed its doors for good, we got to nerd out in Cardiff, Wales with a mini museum of props, costumes and set pieces.
The benefit of planning a staycation is that no matter where you live, there are things to do and places to explore that you haven’t yet discovered.
Seattle might be the big name attraction in the Pacific Northwest, but close by Bellevue has plenty of inexpensive attractions to rival the Emerald City.
Finding restaurants with healthy food is a challenge when traveling, even more so when you're trying to feed a carnivore, a vegan and a mostly vegetarian.
As an American visiting London I learned some surprising things about wi-fi, bathrooms, lemonade, and refills. But I also learned that I love London.
If you're near a lake or ocean, parasailing is an exhilarating water activity that anyone can try, and you don't even need to walk.
With Millenium Park, Lake Michigan and the Lakefront Trail connecting it all, downtown Chicago is a great place to spend an afternoon outdoors.
Take a drive along I-90 through South Dakota and it’s like a treasure trove of roadside attractions that you could spend more than a month exploring.
I don't actually recommend spending just 48 hours in Paris. But if a two-day trip to Paris is all you can manage, it's better than not going at all!
Riding the London Eye was not on my list of things I had to do in London, but I'm really glad we took the time to see the city this way.
Public transportation makes getting around London a relatively simple task, even if you're using a wheelchair.
Since I share a birthday with J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter, spending the afternoon on the Warner Brothers Studio Tour was the perfect celebration.
An hour away from Hells Canyon, the tiny town of Halfway, Oregon is quaint and relaxing with charming accommodations and good food.
White water rafting through Hells Canyon was a memorable experience, complete with a jet boat ride back to the launch site.
