Madeira


I travelled with a friend who is also a wheelchair user (paraplegic) and some of his family as well as to my own carers. We chose Madeira as it seemed to have a mixture of relaxation as well as some things to do and explore. More specifically we stayed near Funchal which is the capital. It's a beautiful island and although quite mountainous was quite accessible.

Bilbao, Spain




I was invited to a friends wedding in Bilbao and made a weekend of the trip as I'd heard the food there was amazing. I travelled with two carers and partied hard at the wedding as well as exploring the city a little. There were a few complications on the plane which added to the experience.

Vancouver


After one week in Seattle, we moved on to Vancouver. We spent five nights here and explored the city and surrounding areas. Vancouver is awesome and I would definitely recommend it, it was relatively easy getting around in my wheelchair but again there was some planning involved.

Seattle

Seatlle skyline




I decided to arrange a trip to visit my aunt and uncle who live in Seattle. This later developed into a two-week trip to include Vancouver. I was pleasantly surprised at how accessible both Seattle and Vancouver are compared to other places I visited.there was however, a huge amount of planning and a lot of help from my family.

Grenada Scuba Diving

This was an awesome trip 2 weeks of sun, diving in a group of 15.
