Who are the Dreamers‑Travellers?

Women and men who cannot travel or bring some of their dreams to life, because of a form of disability — physical, mental, or circumstantial.

Physical disability

The body can no longer keep up.

DNA, accident, old age, illness.

Mental disability

The mind plays tricks.

Chronic fatigue, depression, bipolarity, aphasia, memory loss…

Circumstantial disability

Circumstances prevent leaving.

Refugees, family caregivers… Each of us has to deal with the context we are dealt.

Origins

Christian's stroke
