About Us

In 2010, just six months after we got married, Sarah was diagnosed with an incredibly rare, incurable (and often fatal) disease called LAM. We were devastated. Life was a bit uncertain. We had a trip to Spain planned a few months later. We almost didn’t go because we were still reeling from the diagnosis and scared of what might happen. The logistics were also complicated (to us) as Sarah would need to fly with an oxygen machine. But we went, and it was the best thing we could have done. For the first time in months, we stopped mourning what we thought we had lost and started enjoying the life we had, together. Almost immediately after we got back, we booked our next trip. And from then on travel became our number one priority.

In 2016, we quit our jobs to travel full-time. We were tired of living vacation to vacation and we didn’t know how long Sarah would be healthy enough to travel. After months of planning, we set off in June (coincidentally on the date of Sarah’s diagnosis). We spent 13 months traveling to 27 countries. We went to places we’d only ever dreamed of visiting like Australia and New Zealand, and places we wanted to get to know better like Germany and Japan. We also raised awareness for Sarah’s disease and connected with members of the LAM community throughout the world.

When we came home, we knew we didn’t want to stop. We relocated from New York to the Netherlands for about five years so we could travel more easily. And we started a business – Accessible Itineraries – that helps people with accessibility needs travel to Europe.
