Hey all, how is everything going?
I want to jump in headfirst with a question: Has any of you been to China?
I’m working on something new (not directly tied to TWIA, but something I’ll share more about down the line), and I need your help. Specifically, I’m looking for:
Your own stories or experiences traveling there
Recommendations on things to do or worth knowing
An introduction to anyone you know who is disabled and living in mainland China
That last one especially. If you have a friend or contact like that, I’d be hugely grateful if you could connect us.
Email me anytime at hello@theworldisaccessible.com. I read every message
Next Wednesday, 19th August, we’re hosting a live webinar with FORA Travel Advisor Karen Miller and special guest Josh Grisdale, talking all things accessible travel in Japan (fittingly, given the guide below).
It’s an early one, thanks to the time difference: 8am EST / 1pm UK / 9am Brasília. Can’t make it live? We’ll share the recording afterwards.

JAPAN — So many people dream of going, but the thought of planning it and making sure it's actually barrier-free can feel like a lot. That’s why we’ve worked closely with our friends at Accessible Japan to piece together ‘Accessible Tokyo: Your Stress-Free Guide to the City’.
I was going to write this guide from my own perspective at first; however, it’s been a decade since I was in Tokyo, so I felt much better using the brilliant resources available on the Accessible Japan website.
The guide comprises 10 accessible things to see and do in Tokyo, 6 accessible hotel suggestions, information on public transport, and details about both major airports.
Accessible travel (and accessibility) news stories from around the world, curated for your convenience. Click on any of the headlines below to read the respective article.
It’s been a little while since we shared anything from Shane Hryhorec and his Wheel Around the World series. I have been enjoying his latest videos from Hamilton Island, Australia. Have you seen them?
That's everything for now, folks. If you enjoy this newsletter and would like to contribute stories to it or to our website, feel free to get in touch via the email address shared in the introduction. Do forward this on to friends and family too. Thanks, as always, for your support!
A gente se fala! Anthony
