About
Cory Lee launched Curb Free with Cory Lee in 2013 to show the world — and fellow wheelchair users — that disability is not a barrier to global travel. Diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy at age two and a power wheelchair user his entire life, Cory has grown the blog into a community of over 60,000 wheelchair users and earned three Webby Awards and two Lowell Thomas Awards for Best Travel Blog.
What It Does
The site publishes detailed accessibility reviews of destinations worldwide, including assessments of sidewalk curb cuts, hotel room measurements, accessible transport options, and entrance access at attractions. Practical guides cover flying with a power wheelchair, accessible cruise lines, travel insurance for disabled travelers, and adaptive packing. Destinations across all seven continents are reviewed from a wheelchair-user perspective.
Who It Helps
Wheelchair users and people with mobility impairments who want first-hand accessible travel inspiration and detailed, peer-written destination guides from a fellow wheelchair user who has navigated the world on a power chair.
