Blogging has most definitely taken the online world by storm in the past few years, with topics such as fashion, travel, food and even pets being talked about on platforms like Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. From recommendations to how-to guides, bloggers have fast become the source of everyday knowledge and advice for readers and viewers across the globe.

In particular, the disabled community online has seen bloggers talking about accessibility in venues, cities, shops, along with advice on where to find mobility aids, especially from visually impaired bloggers. In this blog, we’re sharing our top visually impaired/blind blogs which we think everyone should read.
