In Episode 3 of Changing the Narrative, Murray Elbourn and Elizabeth Rouse dive into the realities of travel with blindness and low vision, swapping stories from Elizabeth’s Alaskan cruise and Murray’s Sydney Harbour Bridge climb to expose what travel accessibility really looks like. They unpack the debates around pre-boarding, air-travel etiquette, and the cane-as-carry-on issue, and discuss why many blind travelers reject being forced into wheelchairs just to get airport assistance. Elizabeth recalls learning to assert boundaries when strangers offer “healing” prayers, and the pair reflect on faith, acceptance, and turning blindness into purpose. Their chat moves through humor and honesty—from sensory-rich adventures in Victoria and Glacier Bay to awkward social moments and unforgettable guides who described the world through sound and smell. They celebrate technology tools like Be My AI, Aira, and Canva for alt-text, while staying candid about current tech limits such as Meta glasses. The episode closes with a look at adaptive recreation—from blind tennis partnerships to a University of Washington project developing haptic flag football—and a shared reminder that travel, like blindness itself, is best experienced through curiosity, conversation, and using every sense available.
