Craig Grimes's Profile

About Craig Grimes

This is how Craig is a Changemaker:
Through creating opportunities of Inclusive Travel for people with disabilities in Spain and Nicaragua. I do not only provide services but also try to empower people with disabilities through providing information so that they can plan their own trip and make their own decisions depending on their needs and interests.

The place for which Craig feels a fondness or connection:
I spent the last 7 years living and working in Barcelona, it's open, friendly, accessible and beautiful; what more could you want from a European city? I've now been in Nicaragua for 5 months and my love for this country grows every day. Even in stark poverty the people are friendly and helpful.

The change Craig passionately wants to happen:
I would love to create an a network of Inclusive Travel providers from Mexico through to the most southern tip of Latin America. This would enable people with disabilities to travel freely in Latin America, what an achievement that would be, don't worry, I'm already on the case.

Bio

Through living and working in Barcelona I set up AccessibleBarcelona which provides accessible hotel reservations, transfers and other services. The company is not just about providing set vacations in the city, but also about proving information so that people with disabilities can make their own choices. I'm now creating Inclsuive Travel routes through Nicaragua with a particular focus on social responsability through raising awareness of the dificulties people with disabilities in Nicaragua have. I also write a blog about Inclusive Travel, both from a professional point of view and also based on my own experiences: www.craiggrimes.com
