While beautiful weather beckons and summer vacations stretch ahead, it’s time to think travel. And if you have a mobility disability or wear an orthosis or prosthesis, you may hit a few rocks in the road, but there’s no reason you can’t enjoy your dream destinations this summer. “Just because there are mobility issues or you’re an amputee, it doesn’t mean you can’t do a lot of things,” says Ed Rymut, owner of the Eco-Adventure International travel agency, Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Rymut’s customers roll on wheelchairs through the Costa Rican rainforest, take safaris on the African veldt, and climb Peruvian ruins. “There are a lot of people in not only the U.S. but around the world who have [travel] solutions already in place to do neat and interesting things. There will always be issues and challenges,” he says, “But the big thing is, of course, not to give up.”
