Hey folks!
I am a passionate traveler being visually handicapped (blind, to be precise). Still, it is possible to get around for me/us, although some people might doubt it. Especially after attending the ICC-Camp I have a lot of friends in several countries whom I, of course, love to visit from time to time; so traveling by myself became more and more essential for me, and it furthermore was a huge boost to my independence. Most importantly, I proofed to me and other people who did not think I was able to do this that I was able to get around, reaching my desired destination without constant company by friends, parents or hired assistants.
Per suggestion of some of my friends, I decided to share my experiences in a blog with anybody who might be interested; let it be people who are just curious about other experiences and travel stories, or let it be people who would like to learn more about how to possibly become more independent for themselves.
Feel free to check my blog at the following link:

Last, but not least, what are your personal experiences so far? Have you ever been traveling around for yourself, either inside your home country or abroad? Feel free to share your own stories and if you are curious about something, feel free to ask; but I need to tell you in first place that I have never been traveling outside Europe by myself yet, so if there are any country-specific questions for non-European countries or let's just say countries I have just never been to myself, I'm afraid I cannot help you. However, as this is a huge community, I'm sure that somebody else here is able to help with suggestions, as I believe I am not the only one who enjoys traveling; so don't hesitate to ask and discuss anyway, I am also happy to learn from your experiences!
Cheers!
