Travel Without Limits

New Zealand's Rotorua is mostly known for the hissing, smokey thermal activity - but there's a lot more to be discovered.

On a recent sailing from Southampton to ports across Spain and France, I had the chance to explore every inch of P&O's , a floating resort, from a disabled traveller's perspective. And while no ship is perfect, Arvia' s modern design, attentive crew and thoughtful accessibility features make it one of the most inclusive options I've experienced. Cabin Comforts Let's start with where you'll spend the most time. My accessible cabin on Deck 15 was designed with clear attention to detail.

Nudge Assist has built a dedicated range of travel-friendly commodes and hoists, so a change of scenery doesn't mean a change in comfort.

After weeks or months of planning a trip, the hustle to pack and get to the airport, and the queues to clear security and immigration, I'm usually exhausted before I board a flight. Getting from point A to point B takes stamina, so I'm quick to sign up to anything that will help me arrive at my destination in better shape. Of course, extra comfort comes at a cost (unless you are clever at collecting airline loyalty points) and it's important to know what you'll get for the added spend.

A spinal cord injury in 2008 left James Gribble a quadriplegic, but it never diminished his passion for the game.

Packing a few snacks in the car is standard for any road trip, but it's an essential part of the process if you're road tripping with a dietary requirement. Before you set off, make sure you stock up on snacks that are shelf-stable (or can fit in your transport's portable fridge - more on that in a minute) and always err on the side of overpacking. It's better to have plenty of left-over snacks at the end of the journey than to find yourself caught short and hungry on the road.

Summer holidays are a time for making memories - whether it's splashing in the ocean, exploring a local waterpark, or simply soaking up the sunshine. But for many families of children or adults with disabilities, outings involving water can come with added challenges, especially around safety, supervision, and clothing that's suitable for their needs. That's where the Wonsie Back Zip Swimsuit comes in.

Matthew and Paul Where are your favourite travel destinations? We love traveling to Hawaii, Mexico, and Canada (where Paul is from). But when summer hits, we never leave the Pacific Northwest - it's honestly the most beautiful place in the world from July to September. Why endure nine months of gray only to miss the sunshine? Summer staycations are our love language. What do you always take with you when you travel?
