What’s the Most Accessible Surprise You’ve Found While Travelling?
I love those moments when a place you didn’t expect to be accessible turns out to be a joy to navigate.
What’s yours?

Earlier on this year we travelled to Taiwan and we were surprised how wheelchair friendly this small country is. Dropped curbs, ramps, toilets for handicapped people everywhere free of charge and super clean, access to temples, museums, hotels, restaurants. Absolutely fabulous and not expected at all.

We were pleasantly surprised by how accessible Singapore is. All the buses had drivers who leapt out and put a ramp down, and the trains were all wheelchair accessible. We went to the top of the Marina Bay Hotel, and the view from the top was awesome. Hotels were very accommodating. I was certainly surprised at how accessible the whole island is

If, during your research, you ever feel like sharing some of your knowledge and findings in the form of a blog post or article, then I am sure Josh would love to share it here on tabifolk, and I know I most definitely would love to share a guest post from you on my website – theworldisaccessible.com 🙂

Thanks, Laura, I wouldn’t mind being paid for the many accessible trips that I make daily. I volunteer for a charity that enables the elderly and disabled people to live independently in their own homes and own communities. I also volunteer for another charity that tutors school pupils on the art of self-defense as an Admin Volunteer
