Vision Adventurers: A Community Hub for People with Low Vision and Blindness Built by the Community for the Community


Living With Low Vision

I have been going blind all my life. Today I see light and a few shadows, and each new month asks me to adapt again.

That change does not only affect what I see. It affects how safe and connected I feel.

On certain days, something as simple as taking a walk becomes more complicated. Garbage, recycling, and compost days turn sidewalks into obstacle courses. Even with good mobility skills and my white cane, one brief moment of lost focus can mean walking into a bin or stepping off the curb.

It is easy, in moments like that, to choose staying home with,
More social media.
More audiobooks.
More TV.
Less connection.

I think that many people with low vision or blindness might feel the same pull toward isolation from time to time. I did not want that to define my future. So I called a friend who is also blind, and together we began to imagine a different kind of space. We pictured a place where people with low vision and blindness could explore, discover, and feel inspired rather than alone and shuttered in.

That is how Vision Adventurers and the website www.visionadventurers.com were born.

A Destination for the Community

It is more than just a website. It is a destination designed around the needs, strengths, and interests of the low vision and blind communities.

Our mission is to inspire, inform, and entertain through a fully accessible digital experience that works well with screen readers and other tools that people actually use.

We focused on real-world usability when we built the site. We wanted the site to be easy to navigate with screen readers and other assistive tools, even if it does not follow every formal rule perfectly.

A Platform for Sharing and Connection

The goal is simple: it should feel welcoming and usable for the people who rely on it most. You can explore a wide range of content and resources, including:

Podcasts that are easy to access and enjoy.
Accessible and interactive games designed with blind and low vision users in mind.
Health tips, travel ideas, and technology guides to support everyday life.
Stories and insights from others who are living with low vision and blindness.
Places to add your own experiences and resources.

Our hope is that you will find both practical support and genuine enjoyment in what you discover and it is built by the Community, for the Community.

The most important feature of Vision Adventurers is simple: you can add your own content. We want this to be a living, growing community hub where your voice matters.

Your tips, your experiences, your creative projects, and your honest reflections can all help someone else who visits the site. When you share what you know, you make the platform more valuable for everyone.

We have already received encouraging feedback from individuals and organizations who love the idea behind Vision Adventurers. Their support reminds us that our community deserves spaces that are built for us, not just adjusted at the last minute. It also shows that when a website prioritizes digital accessibility, it strengthens trust and sends a powerful message about who truly belongs.

Growing the Community

Our challenge now is to help more people in the low vision and blind communities discover this space.

Vision Adventurers is ready and waiting, but many people still do not know it exists.

We invite you to visit, explore, and imagine at www.visionadventurers.com.
See what is there and consider adding your own ideas.
By returning regularly and sharing the site with others, you help us grow a destination where imagination has no limits and adventure is always within reach.

We had a lot of fun putting this site together, and now we look forward to seeing what you bring to it.

Thank you for helping make this a true community site.

Please enjoy, explore, and know that you are welcome here.
