I love to laugh and have fun. I write about my life and how I cope with the lack of inclusive access in society and hope I can influence positive change.
A new domain, a new year!
I’ve been absent for months as I had a nasty accident I’m still recovering from. However I’m now recovered enough to start writing again.
Going to Naidex this week. Read my blog post to get the most from your visit

For the last 12 months the @Channel4 documentary team followed me & our 'tour de force' #RightsonFlights crew across the world. Monday 22nd at 9pm the first episode will be aired. The Good The Bad & the Ever so Ugly face of air travel. @MikeKaneMP we can change this. @sophmorgTV
Many of you know I’ve travelled to loads of countries for both work and pleasure, even writing a book about my adventures. Flying has always been an anxious part of these trips.
Last November, I flew to Bologna airport to speak in San Marino for the World Tourism Organisation's opening keynote speech. When being assisted from the aircraft back to my wheelchair, I almost fell to the floor and severely twisted my knee. This incident, which was preventable, took a lot of effort to be recognised and apologised for by the CEO of the airport.
This was the worst experience I’ve had when flying! Considering I’ve had my wheelchair damaged and sustained other minor injuries on flights over the years. After this incident, I joined the @RightsOnFlights team to address this decades-long challenge that I and many others have faced. You may have seen my posts with the team meeting key politicians and industry experts as we push for necessary changes. Everyone agrees that we should all fly with dignity and fairness, but the correct solutions are still not in place.
The absolute force of nature that is @sophmorgTV has created a brilliant documentary that airs on Monday at 9:00 p.m. on Channel 4. Please watch the documentary, understand the challenges all stakeholders face, and remember, fixing these issues will be better for them, all customers, and of course, disabled flyers.
