Interviws

Interviews with travelers and advocates share real experiences and accessibility insights worldwide.

At The World is Accessible, we’re often fortunate to get to interview people from all areas of life. From inspirational individuals who are pushing the bounds of what we think is humanly possible, such as Schwan Wahab, who at the time of interview was aiming to become the first wheelchair user to cross the entire length of Africa to an interview with an ADA Compliance Lawyer who expertly explains lawsuits and violations, and what you should do if you are in America and feel like your ADA rights are being infringed.
