In episode 280 of iCantCU, I share my experience traveling to New York City for Jane’s apartment settlement. I reflect on navigating the subway, offering reassurance to those hesitant about using public transportation. Drawing from my father’s advice—"Be careful, but don’t be afraid"—I encourage everyone to embrace new challenges, whether in travel or life.

I also detail my visit to Jane’s studio apartment, describing its compact yet functional space in a desirable building. Post-settlement, we explored the city, visiting Grand Central Terminal, Fifth Avenue shops, and indulging in delicious food—including a memorable trip to Salt & Straw for ice cream.

Beyond the trip, I touch on my recent participation in an accessibility panel and share insights on the importance of confidence in mobility, particularly within the blind community. To be clear, though, the person afraid of the subway is fully sighted.

Tune in for a mix of travel stories, personal reflections, and valuable accessibility insights.
