Blogging Against Disablism

Perspectives of a blind traveler:

I'm Damon, Welsh British, living in the UK in a quaint shire town in the West Midlands, I can see, but not too well as I'm visually impaired. I'm married, love writing and learning languages. I believe in trying to carrying with things as best as I can by myself with my visual impairment, and living as close to a normal life as I had before my eyes problems came, but realise my limitations. I don't like bright light (or often normal light depending on how pained my eyes are), so I often wear shades over my ordinary glasses.

It's been quite a year since I last blogged on disablism. There's so much I could blog on: I got married, work, service industries (such as banks: seriously, my local branch of Barclays Bank are absolute angels and are amazingly helpful, unlike a certain other UK high street bank), but for some reason this year, I'm drawn to the topic of travel this year. I can't cover everything, but with my poor eyesight I'll give my (blinkered) perspective on it, from my own personal experience.
