Meet Today’s Guest:

Kristin was born with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy, which impacts her mobility, strength, balance, endurance, and breathing.  While her disease presents challenges, she is determined to live life to the fullest and hopes to help others along the way.  A former mental health counselor now turned wheelchair-accessible travel blogger; she hopes to combine her love of travel with her desire to help others to inspire people with mobility problems to travel to places they may have never thought possible.  Kristin has traveled across the United States and abroad and shares her accessible travel information with others through her blog worldonwheelsblog.com.  Thus far she has been to four continents and twenty countries with the hopes of visiting all seven continents by the end of 2026.  She also plans to visit as many US National Parks as possible.
