Episode: Planes & Determination: A Disabled Traveler’s Journey Through Chaos
Description: In this heartfelt episode, Michelle shares her whirlwind experience traveling to and from WordCamp Europe. From radar-key-accessible toilets in Switzerland to flight delays, scooter battery regulations, and missed connections, she shares what it means to travel as a disabled person. Through moments of kindness, absurdity, frustration, and resilience, Michelle brings to light the reality of accessibility, where it works and fails, and the incredible people who make all the difference along the way. This story is about grit, luck (the good and the bad), and a lot of champagne.
