> Hi,
>
> I'm thinking of traveling abroad with some friends soon for a few
> weeks. I've never left the country before, but our plan is to see
> parts of Asia and Europe.
>
> First, I use an NFB cane with the standard metal tip for travel
> everywhere I go. I do use a combination of touch and slide technique
> depending on the situation. I had never thought to ask this question
> until a friend who went to Africa over the summer told me that, being
> in a developing country, the roads and sidewalks look completely
> different from the suburbs and cities of the US! With that, I'm
> wondering If I'll have any trouble using a cane in some foreign
> countries? From what I've heard a lot of sidewalks can have huge holes
> and cracks everywhere and the like which might make using a cane hard
> abroad. especially in more developing countries ... apparently it's
> quite chaotic and a total mess in some places even for people who can
> see! I ask because the NFB metal tip can succumb to rough spots and
> cracks and the like here on occasion, so I'm suddenly wondering If
> I'll have trouble abroad. I will be with a group of friends so maybe I
> won't need to use my cane too much on my own, but I thought I'd ask
> before I leave anyway. Apologies if these are silly or the wrong lists
> to ask these questions on.

> Thank you
