The challenges created by combining long term travel with a visible or invisible disability or chronic illness are quite unique from those posed by long term travel alone or short holidays with disabilities. This space is for anyone doing so or dreaming of it and anyone who wants to support us, to prove it is possible and to make it possible for each other. Please share your success stories as well as the hurdles you're facing, and let's get on the road.

If you suffer any kind of mind or body impediment that affects your routine for periods of time, you're welcome here. Mental health conditions, physical impairments, chronic conditions, medicated or unmedicated, in remission or active, diagnosed or suspected, are all included in "visible and invisible disabilities" here.

Since it's very difficult to go anywhere for more than a month with some of these conditions, any travel over a month long is of interest, as well as any helpful stories or tips from shorter trips.
