If a trip to Slovenia is in your future, then check out these two helpful wheelchair-accessible Slovenia Resources.
The Roll with a Smile blog has an informative entry about travel to Slovenia at https://rollwithasmile.com/slovenia/. It includes information about transportation, wheelchair-accessible lodging and sightseeing in the country. It’s a helpful site with lots of first-hand information and tips.
Visit Ljubljana (www.visitljubljana.com/en/visitors/travel-information/essentials/accessibility-of-ljubljana-by-wheelchair) also has some helpful resources, including details on local wheelchair-accessible taxis and how to get to and from the airport. This site also includes information on where to borrow a “SPEED3X trailer” (a electric handbike attachment with a range of 40 km), to make navigating the downtown area a little easier in a wheelchair.

It contains everything from details about the accessibility at Keukenhof to tips on how to find a doctor in Amsterdam, and even a collection of free accessible Amsterdam activities. It’s a great one-stop spot for wheelchair-accessible Amsterdam.
Barrier-Free Travel Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for Wheelers and Slow Walkers
Spring is a time of renewal, and for many folks it’s also time for a little spring cleaning. We move the furniture, dust and vacuum, maybe declutter a bit, and then clean off the deck and put out the outdoor furniture. And when it’s all done, it’s nice to have a clean and decluttered environment.
Emerging Horizons & Candy’s Blog
The same can be also said for creative works, like this blog. Sometimes they also need a little spring cleaning. I’ve been writing about accessible travel for nearly 30 years, and I started this blog back in 2004, to compliment some of my other work. I wasn’t really sure what a blog was back then, so I got a domain and used it as an editorial platform to compliment Emerging Horizons (EmergingHorizons.com). And back then Emerging Horizons was a print publication.
Things have certainly changed since 2004. Today Emerging Horizons still has the same great content, but it’s only available online. It’s free for everybody, not behind a pay firewall. And there’s still no advertising. Late last year we decided that the website was due for a little “spring cleaning” so Charles and I sat down and decided what we wanted to change and he set out to code it all.
And now it’s ready to re-launch. We’ve removed outdated pieces, given the site a more modern design and improved the navigation; but one of the bigger changes involves this blog. Previously it had a separate URL, but now everything is under one roof. This will not only make it easier for readers to access my blog, but it will also compliment the content of Emerging Horizons.
And you’ll still find accessible travel information and resources in my blog, and of course my own editorial comments thrown in for good measure. So although I’ve got a new address, my focus remains the same — providing unbiased accessible travel information for wheelchair-users and slow walkers.
