Planning a trip around a nervous system, not an itinerary

Most travel advice starts with the destination. I start somewhere else: with how you actually move through a day.

For travelers with hidden disabilities and neurodivergence, the difference between a good trip and a hard one usually isn’t the place — it’s the pacing. A morning that starts too early. A transfer with no margin. Three “must-see” stops crammed into an afternoon with nowhere quiet to land.

So before I look at a single hotel, I ask about your rhythm. When do you have the most energy? What drains it fastest? What does a recovery hour look like for you? Then I build the days around that — and the destination fits into the rhythm, instead of the other way around.

That’s what “accessible” really means to me. Not a checklist of features. A trip that fits the person taking it.
