Traveling the World Without Sight

Hope this helps. Also, the best way to find out more is to come to one of
our teleconference calls when we have our meetings. Possibly come to our
meeting at National Convention.

Also, ask any questions here. Since we can give you as many tips as
possibly.

Number 1 recommendation. Make sure you have proper mobility training, once
you have that down, you can travel anywhere in the world.

I hear all the a ha's there, but it's true. Yes you might need to know in
what direction to walk, or take a plane to get there, but all cane travel is
the same.

Since I have  not been blind all my life. You need to prepare just like the
sighted people by, planning your trip. We don't drive anywhere without maps.

If we are going on a cruise, ask for assistance getting familiar where you
are 1st, or in a new place. Ask for the tour of the location, so that you
are familiar with it.

That is the best advice I can give, just make sure your mobility skills are
up to par, and ask questions.

Have a great weekend.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.

Hi Cheryl,

Hope this message finds you well.  I recall a previous discussion which I
believe was on this list.  It discussed a book which was a great resource
for relatively new blind travelers.  It sounded like a great resource & I
believe you had mentioned your business was featured in it.  I unfortunately
can't recall what the book was, but thought it would be a great resource for
anyone to have!

If you could provide any information on this resource I would greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Justin
