Candy B. Harrington Known as the guru of accessible travel, Candy Harrington has covered accessible travel exclusively for the past 15 years. She's the founding editor of Emerging Horizons and the author of several accessible travel titles, including the classic, Barrier-Free Travel: A Nuts and Bolts Guide for Wheelers and Slow Walkers. Harrington's second book, There Is Room at the Inn: Inns and BBs for Wheelers and Slow Walkers, is the first guidebook devoted entirely to accessible inns and BBs; her third title, 707 Accessible Vacations: Travel Ideas for Wheelers and Slow Walkers, is billed as an accessible vacation idea book. Candy is also a contributing author to Kids On Wheels, a resource guide for wheelchair-using kids and their parents. Candy's work can be found in disability-related magazines, mainstream publications and on-line. She's a frequent keynote speaker at disability conferences and events, and she conducts accessible travel workshops whenever her schedule permits. Candy's focus is consumer-awareness, self-advocacy and sharing accessible travel information, in all of her work.

Tape measure in hand, Candy hits the road often, in search of new accessible travel options. She also blogs regularly at BarrierFreeTravels.com, where she shares her insights, resources and opinions on accessible travel. Candy resides in a tiny California mountain village - so small ifs not even on the map - with her travel photographer husband, Charles Pannell.
