About Kirsten
Hi, I'm Kirsten Doyle.I'm an independent travel advisor and the founder of Accessible Travel Compass. As a lifelong traveller, I know that travel can be one of life's greatest joys. I also know that it isn't always straightforward.I believe everyone who wants to travel should have the opportunity to do so. That's why my planning starts with listening: understanding how you want to travel, what matters to you, and what could make your journey easier, safer, more comfortable or more enjoyable.Whether you're planning a simple getaway, a dream vacation or a complex journey with accessibility considerations, I'll research the options, anticipate potential challenges and help you make informed choices that genuinely fit your needs.Your journey should work for you — not the other way around.
My Services
I offer personalized trip research, planning and booking, from simple getaways to complex multi-destination journeys. My services can include flights, rail, cruises, accommodations, transfers, vehicle rentals, tours, travel insurance, and complete itinerary design.I also provide specialized planning and accessibility coordination for travellers whose needs require additional research or arrangements. This includes mobility and sensory needs, invisible disabilities, seniors, families, solo travellers and others who may encounter barriers while travelling.Not sure exactly what you need? That's okay. We'll start with your travel goals and work from there.
What is Accessible Travel?
What if accessible travel looked like ziplining through a Costa Rican forest, or jumping on the sidewalk trampolines in Copenhagen?Accessibility is often associated with ramps, wheelchairs and other mobility accommodations. Those things matter, but they're only part of the picture.For a place or experience to be accessible, it needs to be accessible to the person trying to use it. That might mean a roll-in shower or ramp-equipped transportation. It might mean a quiet space, lower lighting, a service-dog relief area, dietary accommodations, preboarding at the airport, or travelling with a support person.Something that removes a barrier for one traveller could create one for another. That's why I don't work from a checklist of what an “accessible trip” is supposed to look like. I start with you.My goal is to understand the barriers you may encounter and find options that allow you to travel as comfortably, safely and independently as possible.Disability isn't one-size-fits-all. Accessibility shouldn't be either.
