In this episode of the Plum Delusional Podcast, host Daniel Mitchell welcomes Corey Lee, a celebrated travel blogger and advocate for accessible travel. Operating from LaFayette, Georgia, Daniel discusses Corey's journey with his blog, "Curb Free with Corey Lee," which focuses on providing vital information for wheelchair users navigating travel and restroom accessibility.
Corey shares his insights on the state of accessibility in the U.S., noting that while the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lays down basic standards, many countries offer greater accessibility options driven by a strong cultural respect for those with disabilities. They explore the "disability tax," where accessible accommodations often come at a premium, and how this affects the travel experiences of many.
The conversation delves into practical accessibility challenges faced in public restrooms, air travel, and the necessity of companion care restrooms to ensure dignity and ease for all travelers. Corey shares personal experiences highlighting the need for continual improvements in facilities and the importance of empathy and inclusivity in society.
The episode emphasizes the collective responsibility to enhance accessibility, urging listeners to consider the needs of others in both public and private spaces. With a vision for a more inclusive future, Daniel and Corey advocate for the necessity of accessible restrooms and facilities, and the ongoing fight for improved policies that support the needs of people with disabilities.
