Through the drizzle to the train station and off to Zwolle I went. To a park that literally translates to ‘English Work’. While it sounds like a very industrial name, it’s quite the opposite. Nature tralis, water spots and many cool trees are among the things you can find at this park and it’s biggerContinue reading “Engelse Werk Park”

Portraits
While I’m never going to become a professional anything… I do like having a go at the things that professionals do and then with my own twist. Deafblind people can… I just have to take a different path to get to the same destination. Dogs are more oblivious to what’s happening when you take theirContinue reading “Portraits”

Are we crazy? Yes, of course we are crazy! Only Jessy and I would be crazy enough to book an excursion. on the last full day of or vacation. So in the tour bus we stepped and off we went.

June 28th – Molyvos and Petra
Our idea of climbing the steps to the church on the hill in Petra, followed by Sunday brunch was quite quickly turned upside down when we realized the church holds a Sunday service. Taking photos while people were in prayer, didn’t feel appropriate, so we hopped in a taxi to Molyvos instead. This time weContinue reading “June 28th – Molyvos and Petra”
June 27th – I Touched the Sea!
No, you’re not crazy. I did skip a day. The 26th was a rest day, so we didn’t make any photos. We enjoyed breakfast outside, sorted through photos read a book and played games.

June 24th – Trains and Castles
I was surpised to feel quite good as I woke up on Wednesday morning. I don’t usually sleep well on a flat bed. My adjustable bed at home has been my friend for many years and acommodates the hyper mobile joints very well.

2026 Greek Vacation
Once upon a time a family member asked ‘If you could go anywhere, where would you want to go’. I think their intention was to find a way to arrange something fun for us to do but, I couldn’t answer the question. I’d gotten so used to my illness and disabilities limiting me, that IContinue reading “2026 Greek Vacation”
June 23rd – Travel Day!
To the airport! At 3:30am. I don‘t remember the last time I got up at 2am for anything. Today I just happen to have to get up, because there’s a taxi on it’s way. I can probably count on one hand, the few times I’ve been to an airport. The idea of going there alwaysContinue reading “June 23rd – Travel Day!”
How to Talk to a Deafblind Person Without Panicking
Dear Readers, As I continue my journey through the wonderfully chaotic world of Deafblindness, I’ve noticed something rather interesting about the people around me. Most people want to help. They truly do. Unfortunately, many of them panic slightly first. Some become overly cautious, as if I’m a rare museum artifact that might crumble into dustContinue reading “How to Talk to a Deafblind Person Without Panicking”
