Are you familiar with the game where one’s faith in the surrounding world is put to the test as is one´s trust in one's fellow human beings?
You know, the one where you are blindfolded and have to follow someone else through a landscape?
One is dependent upon one's companion and upon being able to co-operate in finding a common solution.
As a globetrotter and wheelchair user I have to say that I am particularly familiar with this game. When disabled one has to learn how to transcend both physical and psychological barriers when travelling.
One can travel to the end of the earth – with or without a wheelchair – I travel with a wheelchair as that is how I get around.
As a wheelchair user, there is nothing one would like more than to get up from the wheelchair and leave it for good to put on a pair of wandering-boots and continue on through life without being tied down to it.
But for most wheelchair users this is impossible. Hence one needs to learn to face facts, identify possibilities and take a creative slant on things.
I don't believe in making do with things as they are just because one is disabled. If you want to head off and travel and have delightful experiences just like everyone else, you mustn't shrug your shoulders or give up.
In short I am calling upon you all - whether you are tall or short, young or old, deaf or blind, paralysed or not – to live your life to the full. If this means taking a swim in the pacific ocean, drinking a cup of coffee in Nairobi or watching orang-outangs on Borneo you mustn't hold yourself back – contact me and we will find a solution.
