At a young age, Kelsey had to adapt to her abilities as she lives with muscular dystrophy, but it hasn’t stopped her from doing what she loves—traveling. She has witnessed the stress of entering an unknown location, and has faced disappointment when accommodations aren't accessible. “I’ve experienced stressful situations with finding somewhere to eat, partake in certain activities, or even meet up with friends,” explained Kelsey. While exploring The Journey Museum with her husband, Trevor , Kelsey came across an accessible push-button on the bathroom door. “This is something you don’t typically see, so I thought it would be a cool idea to snap a photo of it and create an Instagram account dedicated to sharing accessibility features throughout businesses,” shared Kelsey. And so, she did just that. The account focused on fulfilling the need to provide information for locals and visitors with disabilities. Quickly, Kelsey saw an increase in followers and attention. “My partner and I love to travel. We’ve traveled throughout the United States and internationally.” Kelsey Stine
