Welcome to this website which has been specifically designed for disabled travellers who love exploring new countries and making new friends.
Now is the time to start making tentative plans for a holiday abroad – and the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands really is the perfect destination. Under an hour’s flight from most of the UK airports – it’s British with a flavour of French cuisine and architecture.
It is often very daunting trying to get around in a wheelchair especially if it is one that you have rented for a short period or have recently been issued. It takes time – and courage – to initially venture out alone. Jersey is truly one of those places that offers the disabled traveller a wide range of accessible venues. It also offers you a specially designed hotel for the disabled which has recently undergone major refurbishment, which means that you can choose which room most suits your needs.
This website is aimed to make your travel plans that much easier. It is based on people’s own experiences – not always positive but definitely helpful.
Over the past year I have joined a few disabled websites which are proving to be very helpful and informative. I have tried to ensure that the information is accurate and appropriate. But what makes these websites even more interesting is that they are worldwide – disabled travellers sharing their experiences. As we all know, there are many different types of disability so the sharing of experiences is vital to help make the best choices. Guide books do not usually provide you with the tips that we pick up on our travels.
For example: Have you experienced problems taking your scooter or wheelchair onto an airline? Was your hotel advertised as being “accessible” but actually wasn’t!! Are buses fully accessible? We don’t have trains in Jersey although there is a ‘petit train’ which travels along the south coast – but isn’t accessible sadly!
Please do take time to read through the pages on this website and share your experiences with us! Thank you in advance.
