Two to Go: Roles on the Loose

Travel with Disabilities

Here is a small essay on how we travel with a son with disabilities.  The conclusion will be - it depends on the "disability" and the person.

The caution is this: If non-disabled people can't put in perspective the fear of foreign, our children with disabilities won't either.

So, use your head, but do as you like.

We began the easy way: We chose Ireland several years ago, with its similar language and food, its small geographical area comparatively, some family roots, and we had only to cope with driving on the left.

From that, we branched out to see other countries and regions in Europe, each trip some two weeks. We eat and sleep wherever, and have so far found consistently safe and clean places. We cross borders freely (no itinerary). How to find us if we disappear? We carry lots of ID, register at consulates or embassies sometimes, and email home our plans as we make them.

Side benefits: For parent-child travel, the child becomes adult, a full participant in decisions. Whether related to the trips or just Himself, Dan has developed substantial street-smarts, and is a history buff. He is an inquisitive, responsible citizen of a larger world.
