Taylor Wheelchair Travels. Vlogging About The Accessible World We Live In.

Hey there, I'm Sam Taylor, a 36-year-old with a perpetual itch for adventure, despite life's unexpected twist that left me in a wheelchair due to Cerebral Palsy. But guess what? Wheels don't confine dreams; they just make them roll a bit differently.

Let me take you on a journey. Close your eyes and imagine standing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, feeling the crisp Parisian breeze on your face as you gaze up at its magnificent structure. Now, picture doing the same, but from a seated position, wheels clicking against the cobblestone streets. That's where I come in.

I've always believed that the world is meant to be explored, and my trusty companion, my Personal Assistant, shares that sentiment. Together, we've embarked on a mission: to traverse the globe, one accessible ramp at a time, and document every step of our journey through vlogs that highlight the triumphs and challenges of navigating the world with wheels.

But here's the kicker: accessibility isn't always a given. In fact, more often than not, it's a battle. From ancient ruins to bustling city streets, we've encountered barriers that make us question why inclusivity isn't the norm. Yet, amidst the cobblestones and narrow doorways, we've discovered pockets of progress and communities rallying for change.

Now, you might be wondering, how do we fuel these adventures? That's where you come in. By supporting our fundraising efforts, you're not just helping us tick destinations off our bucket list; you're paving the way for a more inclusive world. Your contribution means more than just dollars; it's a vote of confidence in the power of accessibility and a reminder that everyone deserves a seat at the table, or in my case, a spot on the plane.

So, whether you're a fellow traveler, an accessibility advocate, or simply someone who believes in the magic of exploration, join us as we redefine what it means to wanderlust. Together, let's turn dreams into destinations and barriers into bridges. After all, the world is vast, and there's an adventure waiting for us around every corner — or accessible ramp.

Let's roll.
