Inspired by the indomitable spirit of legends like Stephen Hawking, I set my sights beyond the confines of my immediate environment, thirsting for the thrill of overcoming obstacles and engaging in relentless problem-solving. The path I chose was fraught with challenges, some threatening the very essence of survival, yet my unwavering faith, echoed by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin’s words, ‘Come what may, and love it,’ became my mantra.
-Max Mteliso
What follows is four hours of inspiring entertainment, describing the challenges faced by many disabled folk today, and how to overcome them with humour, spirit and determination. Part travel diary and part activism, this is an inspiring tale in which Max takes the risks so the reader doesn’t have to,
Embarking on a journey of resilience and determination after a life-altering accident, Mteliso discovered the adrenaline rush of solving problems is not just a pursuit but a gateway to enhancing collective social well-being. This realisation propelled him to break free from societal perceptions that often cast shadows of doubt on the capabilities of disabled individuals.
His journey wasn’t just about seeking fun in challenges but about proving a point – that the quest for solutions is a profound source of joy and fulfilment in and of itself. Before venturing into the unknown alone, Max wished to uncover the realities of accessibility for disabled travellers. However, information was scarce, and bravely he took on the journey, braced for the unexpected. This book is more than just a collection of journeys; it’s a treasure trove of insights into navigating a world not always designed for all. It is essential listening for anyone wishing to make a more inclusive world.
