“Live life with no excuses, travel with no regret” – Oscar Wilde
Welcome to Wheelsonthego.com! My name is Lynda and I LOVE to travel! I lost my best friend Karen, who used a power wheelchair, in 2020, who previously owned this website where she logged her extensive travels. So, I decided to resurrect it and use it now the world has opened up again as we get back to traveling again!
About me – I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1980 when in high school. At that time the words “gluten free” were unknown when it comes to products to purchase and food to eat when dining out. I graduated high school, went to BCIT and graduated with a diploma in Hospitality and Tourism. I worked at the Hotel Vancouver for many years and taught them how to serve gluten free meals – I had to be fed while working all those graveyard shifts! I then changed careers and worked for a software company where I traveled around North America and Down Under, for several years, installing software and running customer meetings. Traveling about 340 days a year I sure learned tricks on how to eat gluten free when traveling! Unfortunately, just into 2000, I was in a workplace accident when on a business trip to Ottawa, and my traveling career ended.
Now, with my trusty walker and crutches along with my long time partner, Andrew, we are getting back to traveling! On this website, you will find our accessible travels, while I eat gluten free and the pictures we take along the way.
