Loading player...
Our host, Lois Strachan, chats with Christo de Klerk, who has travelled both locally and internationally to 15 different countries. Christo shares some of his experiences as a traveller who is blind. Christo was born blind, studied law and practiced as a lawyer, became a computer programmer, and later a teacher, before spending most of his career as an IT specialist. He has now been in retirement for the past 6 years.

We also introduce our new spotlight segment, highlighting a service provider who is making travel accessible for people with disabilities. Today's highlight features MLT Car Hire & Tours.
