Community | Accessible Adventures

Award-winning travel blogger Sylvia Longmire shares information about accessible travel and inspiration for your own adventure.

Learn more about travel from Sylvia Longmire, blogger of Spin the Globe, an award-winning wheelchair-accessible travel blog. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005, Sylvia, an Air Force veteran, refused to let MS define her. She has also refused to let her wheelchair confine her. Sylvia has visited 57 countries, 48 of those as a wheelchair user and 34 of those by herself. Her mission is to share information about the accessibility of her destinations with fellow wheelchair users around the world and inspire them to explore the world around them. She only writes about destinations she has personally visited, and as a result, provides only authentic and reliable information about a location’s wheelchair accessibility. As a solo wheelchair traveler, Sylvia continually tries to inform and educate the hospitality sector and businesses large and small about accessibility issues. She has also created a series of PSA-style videos about how to improve accessibility at the local level, one of which has garnered over one million views and counting.

This program is pre-recorded and available on GCPL's YouTube channel.
