Day 6 - Tai Chi and twitching

What do tai chi and twitching have to do with each other? I'll tell you in the course of the article 😀 A young lady with only one arm and one leg stood in front of us. She is a former GETCH student, her name was Miko and she would be leading today's workshop on "Independent Living". Many people don't even realize what a luxury that is...

Day 1 - Flying for the first time

O.M.G. is this really happening?! Today is the day I will fly as a "normal" passenger for the first time since my brain hemorrhage. Normal passenger? Yes, because when I was flown back to Germany after my brain hemorrhage (because I was in Australia for vacation), I had to lie down the whole time. Flying lying down is really boring! Well, if...

Preface: My journey to China

Hi there =) As some of you know through my "About Me" page, I am in a wheelchair. But that doesn't stop me from traveling! I just love traveling, it was like that before my brain hemorrhage and it is still like that now. Should you be unsure about traveling, whether in a wheelchair or not, then I would like to help you with this blog....

Speedboat and wheelchair? Yes, it's possible!

You want to speedboat, but can not walk? No problem, because that's not an obstacle! That's exactly what I found out today ^^ When I was still in rehab, an activity was suggested to us by the social pedagogue - speedboating! Speed boat? Is that even possible as a wheelchair user? Yes it is! How, I wasn't sure at the time, because I had the...

Do you like old vehicles?

You are interested in old vehicles? Then maybe the technology museum in Sinsheim, which was opened in 1981, is something for you =) Since I completed my education in a technical field, a school trip to the Museum of Technology in Sinsheim was therefore an obvious choice. Already from far away you could see the exhibited airplanes - in front of and around the...

One day in Strasbourg

Finally, we went on a trip again o(^.^)o With my parents and an acquaintance, we went to Strasbourg, France for a day. With the Euro key you can go to almost any toilet Before we left, it is of course advantageous to go to the toilet at home (I think so in any case). But otherwise you can look for handicapped toilets at the rest stops. Here...

A view over four countries thanks to the Pfänder

Today we are not going to Switzerland. The day trip goes to the neighboring country, to Austria ^^ There is the Pfänder, a mountain that belongs to the Allgäu Alps and is located at the eastern end of Lake Constance. To get up to the Pfänder there is a mountain railroad, the Pfänderbahn. This is an aerial cableway in Bregenz. The cable car connects the valley station...

The Stilt houses in Unteruhldingen

Today we will not go on a city trip ^^ Today we will go to Lake Constance, more precisely to the stilt houses. And for those wondering what stilt houses are, here is the definition from Wikipedia: "Stilt houses (also called pile dwellings or lake dwellings) are houses raised on stilts (or piles) over the surface of the soil or a body of water. A Unesco World Heritage Site The pile dwellings...

Lucerne - how do I get up on that bridge?

Today we went once again by car to Switzerland. As I said, since my rehab was right on the border, it thus offered the optimal conditions to visit Switzerland. And because we always like to look at big cities, we have picked out Lucerne this time. Simply typed Lucerne city center into the navi and off we went. When we arrived there...

When you see people on inflatable ducks

It was sunny and warm, a perfect day to check out Zurich! Past the airport and straight into the city center, we searched like crazy for a handicapped parking space there. In Germany, there are usually signs marking such a parking space. So our eyes automatically went up. Too late we noticed that the marking was to be found in Switzerland on the ground...
