Traveler’s Bookshelf: Barrier-Free Travels

The newly released third edition of Barrier-Free Travels: A Nuts and Bolts Guide for Wheelers and Slow Walkers is sure to save disabled travelers time, money and frustration as it answers questions and provides detailed information about the logistics of planning accessible travel.  Whether by plane, train, bus or ship, you’ll find the answers that you need here.

Managing the myriad details can be daunting, and author Candy Harrington breaks the process down into bite-size pieces, explaining things like traveling with oxygen, finding the best travel agent, locating accessible ground transportation, and resources for accessible recreation.  And given the tough economic times, travelers will appreciate the section on budget travel (stay at an accessible yurt on the Oregon cost for $28/night).

Full of resources from A to Z, this book is perfect for anyone dealing with the details of accessible travel.  Whether you’re a traveler yourself, a family member, or a travel industry worker, there’s much to be learned from this book.

Candy Harrington is also the founding editor of Emerging Horizons, and is the author of several other accessible travel titles.  She also blogs at Barrier Free Travels.

You can purchase Barrier-Free travel at you local bookstore or online as a pre-order from Amazon ($13.57).
