2. ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION AROUND THE WORLD
Accessible transportation is a key ingredient for any disabled traveler, so this is a good site to check for new accessible public transport developments around the globe. Lowered floor buses are always a boon for wheelchair travelers, and as this site points out, they are becoming even more commonplace in Turkey, Mexico City and Hong Kong.

4. INTREPID TRAVELERS
Don’t miss Julie Schwietert Collazo’s excellent “Does the World Discriminate Against Disabled Travelers?” in the latest update of “Brave New Traveler.” While not disabled herself, Collazo interviews two long-term wheelchair backpackers, Walt Balenovich and Dave Wilkins, who give new meaning to the word “intrepid.”
