Hey new travel bestie –
I’m so excited to chat accessible travel destinations with you.
I have some news I'm excited to share with you!
This past April, I started a new career as an Accessible Travel Certified Travel Advisor with Travelmation.
If you've been part of this group for a while, you probably know me as the founder of What The Fork™️ Food Blog — I spent 12 years building that gluten-free recipe business, and I loved it. But it was time for a pivot, and time for me to chase something else I've been passionate about all along: travel.
Navigating travel with my family — food sensitivities, sensory needs, all of it — has been its own kind of challenge. And what I've realized is that the uncertainty of traveling with unique needs is what keeps so many families from getting out there and experiencing everything the world has to offer.
That's exactly why I started Dream Wish Wander in the first place, and it's why I've expanded into Accessible Travel. And in case you didn't know, Accessible Travel is MUCH MORE than hearing, visual, and mobility.
I want to help families like mine see the world in a way that actually makes sense for them — by sharing what we've learned, the social stories and strategies that have worked, and proof that travel is possible for every body and every need, not just the ones that fit neatly into a brochure.
So if you or your family have been putting off a trip because it feels like too much to figure out — the food, the sensory stuff, the "what if it goes wrong" — I'd love to help.
Working with a travel advisor costs you nothing extra. You get a friend and an advocate in your corner who already understands the questions you're asking, because I've asked them too.
You don't have to figure this out alone. Just hit reply and let's talk about what a trip could look like for your family.
Need a little travel inspo? My favorite destinations to plan are all-inclusive resorts and Disney destinations ✨
Adventure is out there,
Shay
