Welcome to walkingisoverrated.com, a fresh approach to disability news, views and reviews in New Zealand!
I set up this blog because I’m constantly frustrated by a lack of info - online or otherwise - regarding how accessible places are around Auckland City, and as a power-wheelchair user with cerebral palsy, that can be pretty frustrating! So whilst I slowly trundle through reviewing the places I know, and places I’ve been a few times, I would love nothing more than to have some of you contribute! After all, I can’t cover the whole of Auckland by myself.. So drop me a line any way you wish by checking out the contact page, I’d love to hear from you.
I run this website myself at the moment, and certainly don’t get paid for it (but if you’d like to advertise - contact me!) but hopefully more people will come on board and send me reviews from their part of Aotearoa, that would just be awesome!
I have high hopes for this blog; hopefully everyone comments so you can have a chat with other members of the disabled community in NZ, there doesn’t really seem to be much of a community vibe out there at the moment.. So whilst I’m not trying to change the world, you gotta start somewhere, right? Well, this is it. Enjoy.
