It’s an all new That Real Blind Tech Show as Brian and Ed welcome in Sam Nikmanesh  to discuss a story that is more harrowing than any other   story we have ever discussed on the show.

 

We start off finding out from Sam what it is like to start going blind while living in Iran, and what kind of services there are for people in Iran who are blind. 

 

Sam tells us about her recent travels from her home in Vancouver to Turkey  with her Guide Dog Lemon and the misadventures that ensued. The flight there started out well, but getting any place once she arrived in Turkey was when the nightmare began.

 

Sam and Lemon were constantly encountering wild dogs while in Turkey, but the real scary part of her trip began when she arrived at the airport to continue her trip to England. You will not believe her story about how she was treated by Turkish airlines, and the ordeal she went through to get home.

 

Sam explains to us how reaching out to Guiding Eyes  For the Blind and That Real Blind Tech show was so helpful in getting her home.
