Description
The goal of this podcast is to empower blind and low-vision people to explore the world, and help our sighted friends see the world in a new way.
Frequently, as people lose their eyesight, they become more and more isolated. The Tactile Traveler hopes to empower people, not only to go literally around the world, but around the block to new adventures in their lives.
