We've put together some useful travel suggestions that are sure to make your next vacation more enjoyable.
Choose the right location;
Most people have their own list of favorite places they've always wanted to visit. However, as a disabled person, you should also consider your physical disability and that of your partner and then choose a destination.
You are probably well aware that some treks, such as mountain climbing or difficult hiking trails, are simply off-limits. Therefore, choose a location based on your personal needs, as that is the best way to make the most of your vacation and time together.
Research the place you want to visit;
Unfortunately, disabled travelers cannot afford the luxury of not being well informed about their destination before making the journey there. The sad truth is that there are many cities that are simply not suitable for people with disabilities.
You can still visit both of these places, of course, but you should research them first to see which parts of the city are most accessible to you and your other half.
You should also check if the place has a proper healthcare provider who can help both of you if something happens to you during your stay.
Choose the right hotel for your needs;
Research also applies to hotels, apartments, hostels, etc. Many accommodations are not equipped for disabled guests. This can be very annoying. So anyone with a physical disability should make sure they know everything about the hotel where they plan to stay during their vacation.
You should not hesitate to choose the accommodation that suits your and your partner's needs. You don't want romantic nights to get sour together.
Seek help from a travel agency about your disability;
You may not like calling hotels and talking to their employees. Maybe you are shy and your people skills are not so good. If either of these situations is the case, don't hesitate to seek help from your travel agency.
The people who work there are professional, and more importantly, they are trained to work with disabled tourists. Therefore, they will be able to find you a perfect hotel and a suitable transportation service, especially if you are a couple.
However, it is of utmost importance that you accurately and honestly describe your disability. This is the only way a travel agency can receive you well.
Bring enough supplies, medicines and equipment;
No matter how well you plan your vacation, some things can always go wrong. You may also be prone to injuries and certain medical emergencies, and this may be the same for your partner. Therefore, you should always bring enough supplies, prescription medicines and spare parts for your wheelchairs. You should not leave anything to chance.
Hire a local guide;
Some people don't want to hire a local guide when they visit a particular city because they want to explore the location on their own. In most cases this is fine. But you may still want to hire a local guide.
First, you don't know which locations in the city are accessible to you and who you're traveling with. Second, if you want to avoid dangerous and awkward situations, it is always best to consult a local travel guide. These men and women are professionals trained to assist disabled visitors and make their stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
Consider looking for a travel buddy;
Not everyone has a partner with whom they can explore the world and visit the places on their bucket list. If not, it might be worth looking for a travel buddy to help you avoid some potentially dangerous situations. For example, if you bring a close friend, he or she can help you if something unexpected and unpleasant happens during your vacation.
