It also requires that you leave your daily routine and comfort zone. If you have difficulty getting around, traveling offers additional challenges.

Access your personal mobility:

First, it's important to honestly assess how you get around. Think about the follow questions: How long can you comfortably walk? What kind of physical activities do you find difficult, i.e. stairs, hills or standing from a seated position? What do you currently do to improve your mobility?

What kind of trip will you be taking?

Next, closely consider your trip and the physical requirements you'll likely need to perform. Are you planning a trip that has you on the move? Will your trip require less activity, i.e. standing in one spot with little walking?

Choose Your Tools:
