Inclusive Tourism

Inclusive Tourism

Accessible travel is bigger than most people think.

Wheelchairs, ramps, room dimensions: that’s where most accessibility conversations start and end. But there’s a whole world of travelers being left out.

I’ve been to 17 countries with my guide dog Indio, and I work with hotels and destinations that want to look beyond the checklist and get the experience right.

Most guide dog teams don’t travel.

Not because we don’t want to, but because the tourism industry hasn’t caught up yet. Hotels aren’t sure what to do when a dog walks in, staff haven’t been trained, and restaurants sometimes turn us away.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

How we can work together


Trainings & Workshops

I teach your staff how to welcome guide dog teams and serve blind guests, covering the practical, human interactions that most standard compliance trainings skip. I work with hotels, tourism boards, and hospitality associations who want their teams to feel confident rather than caught off guard.


Audits & Consulting

I visit your destination as a real guest, experiencing everything from check-in to dining. You get a report on what worked, what didn’t, and exactly how to fix the friction points.


Destination Positioning

The $58 billion disability travel market is real, but “we have ramps” isn’t a compelling story. I help you identify what makes your destination genuinely welcoming and how to market that narrative.


Sensory Travel & Media

Not everything worth experiencing requires sight. If you’re building something thoughtful, I want to hear about it. I write about these places in international media and feature them on my platforms.

“As the first hotel to welcome guide dogs in Egypt, we never expected that receiving a guide dog would be such a fulfilling experience for our staff.”

30 countries before Indio retires.

Indio is my guide dog and the reason I love traveling the world. Before he retires, my goal is to take him to 30 countries. It’s a challenge to ourselves, and a challenge to a world that often tells us “you can’t go there.” We can, and we do.

We enjoy the adventure, and while we’re at it, we keep the door open for the guide dog teams that come after us. Join the mission:

Be the feature: Get your destination highlighted in our 30-country quest.

Get the proof: Social media content and photography showing a guide dog team thriving at your location.

Tell the story: Potential for coverage in international outlets like BBC or Business Insider.

Where should Indio and I go next?

If you’re working on something that could make travel better for guide dog teams and blind travelers, I want to hear about it.
