But what does the Belgian capital have to offer when it comes to accessible Brussels? This post seeks to unlock some of the cities most accessible gems! Piecing together an accessible guide to Brussels isn’t an easy feat to achieve, due in no small part to …

The Negative Side to Travelling as a Wheelchair User

by Geordie TravellerPersonal Blog Posts October 9, 2019April 30, 20205 Comments

Seeing as it’s been quite some time since my last blog post, I thought I’d ease myself back into it by writing a piece on some of the less-advantageous aspects of travelling the world with a wheelchair. Truth be told, aside from flitting back and forth to the Netherlands for exams/dissertation business, I’ve not really had much opportunity to travel as extensively as I’d like in recent months. I’m aiming to put that right in …

Blogging from the middle of the North Sea – DFDS Ferry to Amsterdam

by Geordie TravellerUpdates from my Travels September 12, 2018April 29, 2022One Comment

When journeying into mainland Europe I often opt to take my car with me; mainly for the overall freedom it provides me whilst I’m over there – and so I tend to take the DFDS Ferry from Britain onto the contintent. Travelling with the car means I don’t have to figure out the logistics of getting from A to B – which may be part of the fun, but is certainly time consuming. Getting my …

Arlington Baths Club: Glasgow Nudist Swimming

by Geordie TravellerPersonal Blog Posts, The Blog October 23, 2017October 25, 2022Comments are Disabled

Who would have thought there’d be nudist swimming in Glasgow?! A novelty experience for some, but certainly something to try at least once in your lifetime. When I arrived at the Arlington Baths Club I was nervous – extremely nervous. I’d been roped into trying naturist swimming thanks to an awesome Couchsurfer named Lindsay, who was staying with me. We found this unique experience as we were perusing the ‘What’s On in Glasgow’ guide and …

I was invited to …

Chasing Castles and Extreme Weather en route to Romania.

by Geordie TravellerUpdates from my Travels August 13, 2017March 16, 20212 Comments

Have you ever been faced with a mammoth challenge, just as you’ve started to come down with a heavy cold? Well how about tackling a 1,700 mile (2,735 kilometre) drive from Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK to Cluj, Romania? This feat, is something which I’ve just pulled off – coughing and spluttering my way across eight different countries, ploughing through countless rolls of toilet roll (for blowing my nose, you dirty buggers!!) and all …

Is Eindhoven the coolest city in The Netherlands?

by Geordie TravellerAccessible Travel Reviews, The Blog August 7, 2017January 7, 202121 Comments

Toronto, Sydney, Wellington, Eindhoven, – you’d be forgiven for assuming that the latter city doesn’t belong in such company, but then again, you’d be wrong. What causes me to group these four cities together has nothing to do with size, climate, or geographical location, but rather that all four of these awesome cities share the same hip and cool vibe, mixed perfectly with a dash of style and the arts and finished off with a …
