Deaf traveller, Angela Lynn on the go!
Accessible Journeys Magazine|Winter 2023
When I took my first overseas trip to Oahu, it sparked my love for travel.
Deaf traveller, Angela Lynn on the go!

How has your passion for travel enriched your life and broadened your perspective as a Deaf individual?

I wanted more than what Phoenix, Arizona, had to offer. During that trip, I told my parents that I wanted to explore the world.

One day, I read the phrase Sea of Learning in a magazine. I didn't understand it at first, but it stayed with me. It finally made sense during a family trip to Disney World in Florida when my mom explained that it meant there was so much to learn and discover in the world, like an endless sea of knowledge.

This phrase became my inspiration as I grew up. It fueled my passion for travel as a Deaf person, helping me break down language barriers and connect with people from different cultures. Travelling has opened my eyes to new perspectives and taught me that kindness and curiosity can bridge any gap.

I'm grateful for this journey, and I look forward to sharing more of it with the world.

How do you navigate airports and public transportation systems in foreign countries where sign language may not be widely understood?
