Wheeling and dealing with Europe

As long as I’ve been writing, my passion has been to make Europe accessible. I’ve focused on economic accessibility (you don’t need to be rich to travel) and intellectual accessibility (you don’t need to be a scholar to enjoy Europe’s history and art). But I also want to make Europe physically accessible for slow walkers and wheelchairs users.

With this in mind, I teamed up with Dr. Ken Plattner to write “Rick Steves’ Easy Access Europe,” a guidebook on London, Paris, Bruges, Amsterdam and the Rhine for travelers with limited mobility.
