Where would you be if you’d let yourself try?
From Uruguay to Harvard, blind.
I write about disability and access for the BBC, Foreign Policy, and Business Insider — and I advise destinations, schools, and organizations on what real inclusion looks like.
Keynotes. Student workshops. Accessibility consulting.

They said a blind girl from Uruguay couldn’t—
Learn English. Study abroad. Get into Harvard. Work as a journalist. Travel the world with a guide dog.
Every one of those was a no before it was anything else. I went looking for the yes — and I haven’t stopped. These days I do it for a living: on stages, in print, at doors that had never opened for someone like me. And I think you should too.

30 countries. One guide dog.
Meet Indio. He is the reason I can move through the world the way I do. He has given me a freedom I never had before, but he won’t be working forever.
Before he retires, I want to take him to 30 countries. We’ve already been to 19. We became the first guide dog team to work legally in Egypt.
Every door we open remains open for the teams that will come after us, and I work with tourism offices, hotels, and disability organizations to make this shift possible. Are you in?
