Professor Mona Minkara is a recipient of the 2019 Holman Prize and thanks to the prestigious award, she was able to embark on journey around the globe and show everyone what it’s like to travel independently as a blind person. 

In her travel show: 'Planes, Trains, and Canes' Mona takes us along as she experiences five cities, faces challenges, overcomes obstacles, and sheds light on issues that blind and visually-impaired individuals face day-to-day in a society that is designed to exclude them.

RNIB Connect Radio's Paulina Kuchorew spoke with the Blind Traveller herself to hear why independent travel and discovering public transport all over the world, can be an adventure in itself.
