Why We Wander Episode 14: Travel and Chronic Illness with Melissa Creary Why We Wander

In this episode we interview Melissa Creary (www.melissacreary.com), a professor of public health who studies - and lives with - sickle cell anemia. We discuss the challenges she’s faced while traveling for research, and get her advice on how to care for yourself or be a supportive travel partner for someone who has a chronic illness. We also explore how the travel industry can better meet the needs of travelers with chronic illnesses and invisible disabilities.
