FEELING ANXIOUS ABOUT TRAVELING?
We know that traveling can be a rollercoaster of emotions. On one hand, you’re excited about exploring new places. On the other hand, you’re worried about safety and navigating unfamiliar environments… These concerns are completely valid, especially if you’re visually impaired. The fear of the unknown can make travel seem daunting.
At Vision Loss Travel, we understand your worries and are here to help you feel safe and confident while exploring the world…
Here are some practical tips to ensure your journeys are safe and enjoyable.
1. Research Your Destination: Before you go, dive into research. Learn about local customs, cultures, and safety tips. Learn some basic language and find some facebook groups for your destination.
2. Plan Your Routes: Use apps and maps to pre-plan your routes. Knowing the public transportation system and key landmarks can make a world of difference when you arrive.
3. Stay Connected: Regularly check in with friends and family. Share your itinerary with them and use location-sharing apps for added peace of mind.
4. Trust Your Instincts: If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. It’s always better to be safe and avoid potentially risky situations.
5. Pack Smart: Essentials like a first aid kit, flashlight, spare cane and emergency contact information should be at the top of your packing list. These can be lifesavers in a pinch.
By preparing and staying aware, you can enhance your safety and fully enjoy your travels. Remember, being proactive is key to a worry-free adventure.
