BRUGES BY WHEELCHAIR! Eurostar Travel, Sightseeing Vs Cobbles, Frietmuseum, Vegan Waffles And More!

Bruges, Belgium is a city I've heard amazing things about and somewhere I knew my best friend Izzy would love, so in September 2024 we travelled by Eurostar from London St Pancras to Brussels and then on to Bruges to spend three nights in this stunning place. Here's how we got on, including how I fared as a wheelchair user and as somebody with multiple allergies. You'll see the vlog of our adventures first, and then I sit down and chat through all my tips and advice for anybody planning a similar trip of their own. As always, please bear in mind that I'm an ambulatory wheelchair user with a chronic illness and don't represent every disabled person's thoughts and experiences. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy!

My name is Pippa Stacey and I’m a disabled writer, speaker, and content creator based in Yorkshire. I also work as a freelance communication consultant in the charity sector and am one of only a handful of specialists in accessible employment for people with energy-limiting conditions in the UK. In my free time I enjoy theatre, books, and fundraising, and can most often be found wearing some form of pyjamas with a cup of tea in hand. I acquired my chronic illness as a young adult and struggle daily with the challenges of living my best life alongside managing a debilitating health condition. However, I’ve finally learned that I don’t have to ‘overcome’ or ‘defy’ my illness in order to be successful, and that there’s nobody’s path you have to follow but your own. On this channel you'll find videos documenting accessible travel, working as a disabled freelancer, enjoying theatre and culture, pursuing my dreams of becoming a writer, and everyday lifestyle vlogs while managing my chronic illness. You can find out more by visiting my blog at www.lifeofpippa.co.uk, and I'm on Instagram at @lifeofpippa. Thank you so much for being here!
