In today’s episode, Lois chats with low vision travel coach Linsay Lusyne about her work helping those from the blind and visually impaired(BVI) community who wish to become more confident travellers.
Drawing on her experience as an orientation and mobility instructor and as a guide dog trainer, Linsay has a thorough understanding of the way that members of the BVI community travel. Combining that with her love of travel and exploring new places and cultures, the insights that Linsay offers into the world of accessible travel are of immense value to anyone in the BVI community and those who would like to gain a greater understanding into how blind and low vision people travel.
Please note: during the conversation, Linsay mentions a workshop that will be taking place in early December. This episode was recorded some time ago and that workshop has already happened. But take a look at Linsay’s website and socials to see what is coming up.
