The Tactile Traveler

Author: Nick Isenberg

The goal of this podcast is to empower blind and low-vision people to explore the world, and help our sighted friends see the world in a new way. Frequently, as people lose their eyesight, they become more and more isolated. The Tactile Traveler hopes to empower people, not only to go literally around the world, but around the block to new adventures in their lives.

In this episode, we will discuss…What happens when your vision starts to fade, or disappears entirely? In this episode of The Tactile Traveler, we get real about the transition into low vision or blindness, and what actually helps (and what doesn’t).We break down practical next steps: where to go for support, how to adapt your daily life, and the tools that can help you stay independent and confident. From mobility training to assistive tech, to the emotional side no one really prepares you for, we cover it all.Whether you’re experiencing vision loss yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is about turning uncertainty into a plan—and reminding you that life doesn’t stop here, it just shifts.
