À propos de cet audio

We have years of written and audio travel stories, made even more interesting traveling as a blind person with a guide dog. This history will be combined with interviews and stories from others, blind and sighted. "It is better to travel hopefully than to arrive."Copyright 2025 Essais et carnets de voyage Sciences sociales

  • S2E16 - Ambassador Josh leads the way in three countries
    Dec 6 2025

    This is the story of the people and experiences in three places led by my fourth guide dog, Ambassador Josh including Brazil, San Juan Puerto Rico and Mexico. There is no anonymity when traveling with a beautiful dog. Even at 5 in the morning, barely awake, one ends up being an ambassador, like it or not.

    Key people in this episode include my mother OJ, adaptive technology colleagues and the random service people I met at every turn throughout these Spanish speaking locations.

    The People Make the Places podcast shares the complexity of traveling, especially as a blind person, something from which everyone can benefit.
