Traveling with a special needs child can be daunting, so many times it seems easier to stay close to home - you already know where everything is and it takes less energy. Though traveling with a child who has special needs can more challenging, Special Needs Travel Mom Karin will tell you it’s more than worth the effort.

Karin enjoys looking for her next adventure. As a wife, mom of two girls, and owner of a web development business, finding time for that adventure is part of the challenge. Her youngest daughter has several challenges; she’s blind, non-verbal, uses a wheelchair for mobility, and has other medical issues. Karin's focus is to try more and do more with her own family. This allows her to provide her readers with good location reconnaissance to encourage them to enjoy the adventure that is life, no matter where it takes them.

Not only is it good for your child and family, it’s good for you! Karin and her family live the motto that “Life is your adventure….live it.”
