Boy, this video is really going places.
Boy, a popular question that's come in over the years is "how does a blind person
like myself travel, you know, what kind of things do I encounter?
What's the experience like?" This works two ways.
Now the first way is when I travel with somebody.
Now, when I travel with somebody I'm usually just going sighted guide.
I hold on to their arm and we do all the things that we do. We walk through
the airport together. We walk through security together.
Take a train together. All that kind of stuff
I do sighted guide. So it's very easy that way. But what happens
when I travel alone? That's a little bit different.
For example, if I travel by plane. Now a bunch of years ago we actually
filmed a bunch of this process.
[music plays] So what I'll do is I'll take
a car service to the airport. And when we get there I'll ask
the driver if he can give me directions - which way
the door is going to be from the side of the car, right? Or they might even
get out of the car and show me the direction which I'm supposed to head.
And once I get to the counter and checked in,
then I'm in hands of airport personnel. And then we just
walk through the airport together. I hold on to somebody's elbow like I do
and we walk down towards security and I go
through security. My helper will go through security as well
and then on the other side they can bring me right to my gate.
And then when it's time board the plane, I'm one of the first
people on the plane which is very nice. I just get
comfortable and get seated and that's it.
And then when I arrive, I have to wait for everybody
to get off the plane and I'm the last person
off the plane. And then there's somebody at the airport
to take me through and bring me to where ever I need to go. And now when
I get to the hotel. More of the same thing.
Maybe a valet or someone from the hotel will bring me up to the desk.
Or if I can hear the activity I can just walk toward it.
And get myself in lien and get checked into my room.
[music plays]
So once I'm at the hotel, I usually manage the hallways by myself.
Right? There's braille signs on all the doors. And I just
have to walk down the hall and check the doors and find my room.
I'm going to stay along this wall here and follow it around.
And wait until I'll --- see I'm ahh...
nope, I'm good, okay.
[cane taps against wall]
Alright, let's see if we can find -- oh, more turns.
Jeez. Let's see.
This is...
705... so I think I have a few to go.
[cane taps against wall]
Alright, let's see what's here.
This is 703.
So I want maybe 2 or 1 more to go.
[cane taps against wall]
Ah, and... 701.
Alright. Let's see how the keycard works here.
No.
No.
[jgasp] There it goes. It opens.
Once I get into the room, now it's time to get my bearings.
Okay, so there's a table here. A little coffee table.
There's a chair -- that's actually a little couch. Wow. This is nice.
Straight across here.
Um... wow. This room is huge.
What's this? Oh, this is sort of
the -- okay, this is where the microwave is and stuff.
There's a little dish towel over here.
That's all very good. This must be the bathroom back in here.
Okay. Alright, what do we got over here?
Just big windows and stuff.
I'm sure the view is lovely. Woah...
is this like a whole other room? It is.
[gasp] And here's the bed.
What else is in here? This is ah... again, just like
a vanity I guess.
And this is the window. So this is not how to get our apparently.
Okay. What's in there?
[door slides open] Hello, closet space.
Okay, so then out is
going to be this way. [cane taps against wall]
[laughs] Dude... wow.
How do I get out? Alright, so the big table...
Window's there... the closet...
and more win -- dude, what am I doing wrong?
Oh, good, there's where the remote is. Hey, nice find.
Oh, and I can come out here. Okay.
And bathroom was across this way if I remember right.
Is that television up on the wall? That's cool.
That's very cool. Where the hell's the bathroom? It must be on the way
to the bedroom, right? It's got to be. And it is.
Okay, so right in here. Nice vanity here.
This is good. A little washcloth. I'm not quite sure what that is.
What else? There's a toilet.
And where's the shower?
Look and there's -- ah, jeez -- knocked over everything in there. Well, at least
I know where it is. And it all comes out this, okay good. [metal bang]
Very nice.
So once I'm in the hotel, if I need to go anywhere like the restaurant or the bar,
or something like that. I'll just call down to the front desk.
And ask if somebody can meet me at the bottom of the elevator or
whatever and just take me to where I need to go. And it's pretty straight ahead.
[train horn blows] Now, if I'm traveling by train
that's a little bit of a different experience. So what I do
is I go up on the platform and wait for the train
arrive and then I listen and either
walk left or right to where I think the door's going to be.
I get on the train and then I walk down the aisle.
And sort of touch the top of the seats to see if
I could feel somebody's head in the seat. And that's how I find an empty seat.
So once I get to my destination. Let's say it's New York City.
So I'll ask somebody... "Hey, can you do
me a favor and take me to the taxi stand?" And, you know,
people love to help so, yeah, people will do that for me.
Then I'll just get to the taxi stand. I'll wait in line.
Get into a car. And tell them where I want to go.
[music plays]
Well some of the ways I get to experience the city without sightseeing is I like to
go places. I like to meet the locals. Right.
I like to hear their stories like at a bar or restaurant or something like that.
You just meet the regular people. It's fun because
I'm from out of town and I tell people that and then they begin to tell me
stories and things maybe that I should check out in town
that I might like. Some place to go eat that has great food or some
place with nice drinks or whatever.
I just like to be with the people. That's my favorite part about
travel. I don't really care about going to see the Eiffel Tower.
It doesn't do anything for me. Right. Or, you know,
the pyramids wouldn't even do it for me.
Once of the things I hear in the comments is how sighted people
use photos and videos to remember their trip. And people are curious
"what does a blind person do to remember a trip? Do you make audio
recordings or anything? You know, I really don't.
When I'm on a trip, it's more about the experiences. It's
about the people that I met... the places that I've been to.
Maybe the smells and sounds of a particular place.
It's all that kind of stuff that I just remember because pictures
and video aren't really going to help me much and audio
recordings -- I don't imagine I'd listen to them.
I'm on them. [laughs]
I hear myself talk every day.
Thanks so much for watching this video and of course asking the questions.
And also I'd love it if you followed me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter
so this way you'll always know when there's a brand new video coming out.
[beep] Hey, why do they call it a travelogue anyway?
It's doesn't come from a tree.
You can't put it in the fireplace... alright.
Um...

Wasted Night (Short Story Audio) - Duration: 2:53.
"Who the hell are you?" Thomas asked.
Thomas and I used to be best friends
We did everything together
Parties, dinners, weddings
Everything
I remember on the third grade, people used to call us the "gay couple"
But we didn't mind.
As long as we had each other
We were fine.
There wasn't a time we weren't together.
I was right by his side the moment he lost his memory...
Forever.
Everything happened so fast
I just wish I could do things right and turn back time.
It was 5:03pm
Thomas picked me up to go to Kelsey's party
He made me that I wouldn't let him drink
Because he was the one driving.
Instead..
I gave him the first drink
I never thought something bad could happen
Didn't think of any consequences
After that drink.. I became the worst best friend anyone could have in the world
And thanks to that, Thomas will never remember me again.
We both started drinking like there was no tomorrow
At 4:30am I told him:
"We should get going".
My second mistake.
I didn't even mind he was still drunk.
I was tired and I wanted to get home
How selfish can I be?
He didn't want to drive and I convinced him by telling him:
"Nothing is going happen". We were drunk, but not stupid.
Third mistake.
Thinking shit can happen, but not to us.
The accident happened as soon as we left Kelsey's house.
The other car hit us by passing a red light,
we both were falling asleep and we didn't mind looking at the traffic light
Stupid, isn't it?
When you're drunk, you think you control the world...
When in reality, you crush your own world by thinking that way
The other car hit us on Thomas' side
But we both passed out.
"Who the hell are you?" Thomas asked.
I just wanted to know he was okay.
His parents made me disappear from his life...
So he could never remember me again.
They used to think I was a good influence in his life,
but after that night..
They knew I wasn't.
I thought so myself after that night.
There was nothing I could do about it.
After all,
They were right.
Not only that night had I lost my sight..
I lost my one and true friend.
Thomas.
I'm glad he's alive
But it will be as if i'm dead to him.
He'll never remember me again
But I shall remember him until the day I die.
My eyes won't work. I lost sight in both of them.
But I still see a clear image of Thomas smiling back at me.
Don't be stupid like me..
Don't drink and drive.

Nashville Partner Summit Recap - Duration: 3:59.
Now my experience with VRBO and HomeAway has been a great opportunity
to market my property. I've been really pleased with the guests
that I've met through VRBO and HomeAway and some of them feel like friends now
after today at my house year after year.
So I just love the opportunity to meet new people and really get to know them and help provide them a really unique
amazing vacation experience.
Working with Homeaway has been great because the type of customers that we get in are not the type of people that are looking for
the cookie-cutter name-brand experience,
But they're wanting something a little bit more --not a little-- a lot more authentic.
The wow factor is when you walk into the room. Bright, they're colorful this is really urban chic. Which, again, most people don't expect in Kentucky.
And this has been a great experience in one day
filling those gaps
of things that I should be doing, I need to look into that
I either didn't know about or I knew it when I didn't think it might be that important.
Homeaway helped save our family farm and it's a sliced-
themed Americana.
We have a great time spending time there ourselves
and we enjoy sharing it with the world. And what it turns out
is that the biggest luxury really right now is the ability to convene--
to convene a large group, to connect, to spend time together. It's
fantastically important and very popular. It's something that people have a hard time putting a price on.
Oh
my gosh, it's got overwhelming.
We now book about 80% on our own, so it's much better than our rental company ever did on their own.
It's been great. We can't imagine the success we've had with it, it's been awesome.
HomeAway has impacted our life in a great way.
We're in our third career, and we're dealing with a lot of fabulous
customers, we're having a lot of fun, a lot of positive energy. And anytime you can have a lot of positive energy and having fun
working with your customers,
it's like Confucius says: if you like what you do, you'll never work another day in your life. And that's exactly what we're doing.
It's allowed us to take control of our destiny.
HomeAway
Oh HomeAway
International global, baby, global! Yeah!
