Autistic Traveler Interviews: How to Support Neurodivergent Travelers
Welcome to this interview series with fellow autistic adults. Some will be guest posts, and others will be interviews on the highs and lows of autistic travel and everything in between.
Nicole Bushhouse Guest Bio: I’ve been an avid explorer all my life, and in the past decade, I’ve expanded my international travels to include off-the-beaten-path destinations such as Cambodia, Mozambique, and Peru. While I adore the thrill and novelty of traveling, I’ve also grappled with significant anxiety and hyper-vigilance throughout my journeys.
I started Unruffled Travel, in large part, because I want to share my travel experiences with others to hopefully help them learn from my successes and failures. I’ve begun cataloging my intuitive strategies for managing my sensory sensitivities alongside checklists and planning tools I use, shared on my website or via my newsletter. My desire is to create a community of Neurodiverse explorers to learn from and to create safe spaces out in the world for each other.
