Day 14 - Just have the courage and try it out

Only one more day until the weekend =) Today more people should be interviewed so that we have more data for our surveys. And once again, we encouraged our exchange partners to ask questions and be bold. At first they were a little hesitant again, but over time this subsided and they gained confidence. Because they realized that nothing bad...

Day 9 - Durian and boats

The durian aka stinky fruit day 9 started with a challenge. Some of you may be familiar with the durian (in this post I posted a picture of the durians with peel :D), also known as stinky fruit and it's no secret that many people have a problem with this fruit. I have to admit, when I was younger I could smell the...

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...

What you can experience in the black forest

I love going on trips! Unfortunately, I can't do this very well on my own, which is why I always need an accompanying person. Thanks to my personal budget, I was able to go exploring on my own, independently of my parents. The personal budget enables a person with disabilities to participate independently in social life. If you have never heard of it before, then you should definitely inform yourself about it (at least in Germany)! But what I would like to get at ... with an assistant I dared an excursion into the Black Forest! o(^.^)o

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...

There is a wheelchair that can go up stairs?

Every 2 years, the fair "Rehab" takes place in Karlsruhe on the topics of rehabilitation, therapy, care and inclusion. As a person with a movement restriction who is dependent on a wheelchair at the moment, this exhibition is just the right thing! Because there are many exhibitors who are eager to present their latest invention and there are enough people who are waiting for exactly such inventions - like me xD

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...
