Meet The Teen Who Has Explored 30 Countries, All While Using A Wheelchair.

Travel connects us, it opens up our world! It allows us to step outside our comfort zone and really embrace and experience difference. It may even teach you more about yourself than the destination you are exploring!

Coopers first overseas flight was to Singapore to try some physical therapy and since then he and his family have been hooked! Cooper travels with his parents and younger siblings Pepper (10) and Woody(7) .

They have explored 30 countries together over the last 7 years of course with dreams of exploring more! Cooper hopes to have explored 50 countries by the time he is 18.

We love going to new places, to meet new people, to try new foods and mostly to be together away from routine and normal life. It gives us a chance to test ourselves and prove that we can do anything as long as we are together!

Coopers favourite destinations include Japan, South Korea Finland and Mongolia. The most wheelchair accessible place he has visited would be London, UK.

He has the motto of trying anything once and has been very lucky that amazing people from all around the world help make that happen whether it’s hiking up to a temple in Mongolia, getting on a train in India or cruising down the river in Borneo. It’s the local people that make these adventures happen and we are so thrilled to all be on this ride together.
