Good afternoon travelers,

We're excited to share a meaningful update with our community.

Earlier this month, an article highlighting John Sage's leadership and Sage Traveling's work in accessible travel was officially published in the January 2026 issue of Accessible Journeys by MΓ©lange Media. The piece is now live both in the magazine and online, marking an important milestone for our team and the broader accessible travel movement.

This feature reflects years of lived experience, advocacy, and collaboration across our team. It's a reminder of how far accessible travel has come and the work still ahead as we continue building inclusive experiences worldwide.

You can view the full January 2026 issue here:
πŸ‘‰ Accessible Journeys – January 2026
(Our article appears on page 86 and is also featured on the Accessible Journeys website.)

We'll be sharing this article across our social media channels as well. If you come across it and feel comfortable engaging, sharing, or commenting, your support truly helps extend the reach of this important work.

Warm regards,
The Sage Traveling Team

Good afternoon travelers,

Traveling with a disability can come with extra questions, but with the right preparation, it can be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Based on real world travel experience and years of planning accessible trips, here are three practical tips that can help make travel smoother and more accessible.

♿✈️ 3 Accessible Travel Tips

1️⃣ Plan ahead. Many destinations are more accessible than they seem, but good research makes all the difference. Knowing accessible routes, attractions, and accommodations can completely change your experience.

2️⃣ Book accessible accommodations early. Accessible rooms are often limited and can sell out months in advance. Planning ahead gives you better options and better locations.

3️⃣ Choose accessible guided tours when possible. Guides who understand accessibility can plan smoother routes, avoid unnecessary barriers, and help you experience the destination more fully.

These tips are a great starting point, but every traveler and every trip is different. With the right information and support, accessible travel can feel less overwhelming and far more empowering.

Warm regards,
The Sage Traveling Team
