Braeden’s wheelchair is the most important piece of equipment we own. His wheelchair goes on adventures with us and is used by Braeden in the community every day.

Julie — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 07:40:25 +0000

Arriving in the best shape possible after a long-haul flight is always my aim and I have long known that flying at the pointy end of the plane would be the best chance of that. So recently it was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to fly in business class on the Qantas Airbus ... Read more

Kathmandu Hybrid Trolley luggage review

Julie — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 08:20:59 +0000

We have quite a lot of luggage in our arsenal but a little like Goldilocks, sometimes it’s hard to find one that’s ‘just right’ for a particular trip. When Amelia and I were travelling to Japan, everyone said pack light – that’s just not my bag (pardon the pun) but I did take note that ... Read more

Julie — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 07:45:29 +0000

We have travelled with our son Braeden both domestically and internationally. His wheelchair goes everywhere with us, and we won’t be the first family with a wheelchair to tell you we feel nervous every time we hand his chair over to baggage handling. The wheelchair is Braeden’s independence and means to enjoy his travels when ... Read more

Travelling with a support worker

Julie — Sun, 27 Apr 2025 08:33:10 +0000

Travelling with a support worker is a necessity for many travellers with a disability and for others, like our family, it can be a choice. We’ve travelled with a support worker to allow Braeden to be on the go as much as he likes without wearing out the rest of the family. We’ve also done ... Read more

In between road tripping the stunning Coral Coast, running the inaugural Best Accessible Bathroom Awards, taking a mother-daughter trip to Japan, and the usual day-to-day craziness of the Jones household, I’ve been working hard with the Travel Without Limits team to bring the Autumn/Winter 2025 issue to life!

How an annual travel insurance policy can save you money

Julie — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 03:10:25 +0000

Have you ever considered purchasing an annual multi-trip travel insurance policy? I’ve taken an annual multi-trip policy over the last few years. I worked out that if I was planning on doing at least three trips it was more economical, not to mention convenient, to buy an annual policy. I’m sure many of our well-travelled ... Read more

Metro Trains Melbourne – accessible facilities

Julie — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 08:38:38 +0000

Alternative communication aids can assist so many people so I am surprised more businesses don’t embrace it. Perhaps, because my dad is hard of hearing and lives with dementia and Braeden is non-verbal, I am more aware of how much alternative communication aids can help with communication. I was therefore beyond delighted to see Metro ... Read more

Julie — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 07:01:25 +0000

What a privilege it was to be invited by United Airlines on their first tour dedicated to accessibility.
