Travel the World in a Wheel Chair – Let Me Show You How
Chris Tscheinig
Hi, I’m Chris Tscheinig
A solo female traveller and storyteller – rolling through the world one country, one lesson, and more than a few unforgettable, awkward, and unexpectedly joyful moments at a time.
I move through the world on wheels, but it’s how I live that really matters.
Travel is in my blood
From early family road trips to a career across the travel industry – including roles in sales, marketing, customer service with Qantas, and as cabin crew for Virgin Australia – I’ve always been drawn to travel, connection, and the stories that unfold when we step outside the familiar.
Then life changed
In 2017, life handed me a detour – one that changed my mobility, but not my direction.
I still had places to go, stories to live, and a world to rediscover.
That moment shifted everything – not just how I travel, but how I see life. What stayed the same was my belief in possibility and my passion for exploring it.
Why I travel now
I travel solo not to prove a point – but to challenge assumptions about independence, disability, and what it truly means to live fully.
I created Journey Beyond the Chair to share the real, unfiltered side of accessible solo travel: the highlights, the hurdles, and the humour. From navigating airports and awkward encounters to heart-opening connections and spontaneous dance floors – it’s all part of the ride.
This space is for you if…
You’re curious about exploring the world – without fear holding you back.
You’re navigating life with your own challenges, whether visible or not.
You’ve wondered if adventure is still possible – especially on your own.
Or maybe you just need a reminder that there’s still so much life waiting beyond the limits we place on ourselves.
Because life doesn’t end when things change –
It just asks us to move forward in a different way.
There’s too much life beyond the sidelines – so I’m out here chasing it, one adventure at a time.
More than a chair:
It’s freedom, a fearless mindset, and living proof that anything is possible when you believe.
A story worth sharing. A call to bold living – because with belief and will, doors can open!
You can always swap the chair for a horse.

My Solo Journey Around the World in a Wheelchair.
You may not have planned on needing to be in a wheelchair.
You can plan now you are in a wheelchair what you do and where you go in life.
You can stay at home and just go to the shops or you can be like me and take on the journey of an adventure.
You never know what you may see or enjoy.
You are always welcome to get in touch if I can help you in any way. You may like to be coached on your journey and adventure.
You may like to work with me and we both go on the adventure of a life time.
Now you have choice about your life and journey in the wheelchair.
Planning the Trip
Planning is one of the key elements to a successful trip in a wheelchair.
By travelling solo I need to be able to manage the wheelchair along with my one bag of luggage.
The trip in August 2025 will be approximately 6 months so anything special I need to make sure I have it.
I will need to be extra careful in Europe with the cold weather as besides travelling solo in a wheelchair I still need to manage and be on top of my cancer.
I know this will be one of the most exciting times of my life. I can’t wait to share my travels, tips and expertise with a wheelchair with you when I return.
Expertise comes from experience. I wanted to go solo so I could truthfully tell you and teach you everything that happened during my travels and what you need to watch out for and be aware of.
