Ashley Lyn Olson created the website Wheel Chair Traveling in 2006 to empower people with limited mobility, their friends, and loved ones to access and experience the world of accessible leisure and adventure travel.
After graduating USC with honors, she built and designed the website as the go-to guide for wheelchair travel tips, tricks, and advice. Her goal is for the wheelchair-bound to be able to travel knowing what to expect, how to prepare, and even adapt, so they can make the most out of the experience.
