Hey everyone! Hope you’re doing great. I’m jumping right in — I could really use your help! You see, this newsletter reaches people from all over the world, and I’d love for more of you to check out tabifolk — the community where travellers with disabilities share tips, stories, and advice. If you haven’t popped by yet, take the plunge and join the conversation on the website (or app). You’ll meet some truly amazing people.

We regulars on tabifolk are always on the lookout for what we like to call our local concierges. It’s a big world out there, but we make it smaller through community. If you’ve got some insider knowledge about accessibility in your area — where to go, what to avoid, or what makes your hometown special — we’d love for you to share it by joining the group for your country or region.

Not a fan of using websites? No problem — tabifolk works great as an app too! You can grab it from the App Store or Google Play and keep it right there on your phone’s homescreen.

Alright, enough of the hard sell! I hope a few of you might be tempted to join us. Now… on to the rest of the newsletter. Enjoy!

Focus on: United Kingdom — Your Accessible Guide to Liverpool!

Modern structures like the Museum of Liverpool and the glass-fronted Mann Island buildings contrast with the historic architecture under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds.

You may have noticed a slight UK theme in our most recent accessible city guide, and this month, the theme continues with a brand-new guide to Liverpool! Sample all that this magnificent city has to offer and discover the birthplace of The Beatles!

Meet the 72-year-old who travels the world alone in a wheelchair

A smiling person wearing a helmet and sunglasses rides a blue off-road handcycle on a sunny day. The individual is on a gravel path surrounded by grassy fields and trees, dressed in a light jacket and dark pants, appearing to enjoy the outdoor adventure.

Navigating the world as a solo traveler can be challenging but also rewarding. For septugenarian Anne Marie Jones, who uses a wheelchair, this rings especially true – even when it takes her more effort, planning, and dealing with difficulties that others might not face.

(Hint: it’s in Europe and was originally completed in 1889.)
