Through two dozen travel tales spanning twenty countries and twenty U.S. states, the author of On Two Legs and Three Wheels shares the remarkable journeys he and his wife have taken, despite her limitations created by multiple sclerosis, proving that the world remains wonderfully accessible when approached with creativity, determination, humor, and a love for one another.
The author’s wife has lived with multiple sclerosis for two decades, relying on a mobility scooter as her condition progressively worsened. Yet instead of retreating from adventure, they doubled down on it. Where others would have given up on their dreams, this couple didn’t hold back. Whether navigating the narrow alleys of European cities, being recognized as the first scooter user to reach the Arctic Circle, or scuba diving in the Caribbean, the couple met each challenge with perseverance and a refreshing dose of ingenuity.
The stories themselves are engaging and varied. Readers are treated not only to vivid descriptions of landscapes and cultures, but also to the logistical puzzles that come with traveling on “two legs and three wheels.” These practical insights will be invaluable to readers with mobility concerns. More than just a travelogue, this account delivers a broader message: adventure is not limited by age or disability. It encourages older adults, people with disabilities, and their loved ones to embrace exploration without fear.
Sublime Line: “A heartwarming and inspiring testament to what it means to live fully, regardless of age, disability, or circumstance.”
