Bio

Brandon J. Yaniz, a passionate entrepreneur and founder of The Adept Traveler, has made it his mission to revolutionize the accessible travel industry for people with disabilities. Living with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that has left him with a 10-degree field of view, Brandon is legally blind, yet possesses some functional vision. This unique perspective has allowed him to embrace his disability and become a trailblazer in creating a more inclusive and understanding travel environment.

Despite facing numerous challenges as a visually impaired entrepreneur, Brandon's tenacity and determination turned a perceived weakness into an incredible strength, leading to the birth of his groundbreaking travel agency, focused on assisting people with disabilities to travel better.

As a disabled individual, Brandon experienced first-hand the discrimination that people with disabilities often encounter. Refusing to let these barriers hold him back, he used his experiences to fuel his entrepreneurial spirit and advocate for a more inclusive and accessible travel experience for all.

In founding The Adept Traveler, Brandon combined his love for travel with his unique perspective as a visually impaired traveler to create a business that empowers those with disabilities. By offering tailored services and resources, The Adept Traveler educates and assists all travelers in navigating the challenges of accessible travel, ensuring that they have the support and information needed for a seamless journey.

One of the primary ways The Adept Traveler helps people with disabilities is by providing personalized travel planning and consultation services. The agency's team of experts collaborates with travelers to identify their specific needs, preferences, and requirements, crafting customized itineraries that cater to their unique circumstances. From arranging wheelchair-accessible accommodations and transportation to coordinating with local guides who are trained in assisting travelers with disabilities, The Adept Traveler ensures a hassle-free and enjoyable experience for all.

Furthermore, The Adept Traveler is dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for better accessibility in the travel industry. By partnering with tourism boards, hotels, airlines, and other travel-related businesses, Brandon and his team strive to make accessibility a priority, promoting improvements in infrastructure, training, and services that accommodate the diverse needs of travelers with disabilities. Through these efforts, The Adept Traveler is not only helping individuals enjoy the wonders of travel but also paving the way for a more inclusive and accessible future in the industry.

Brandon's journey as an entrepreneur has been marked by his unwavering commitment to breaking down barriers for people with disabilities. Through The Adept Traveler, he has worked tirelessly to create innovative solutions, develop partnerships with other businesses and organizations, and promote accessible travel infrastructure and services, ensuring that accessibility remains at the forefront of the travel industry.

His dedication to entrepreneurship and his commitment to dismantling discrimination have inspired countless individuals to redefine their own limitations and pursue their dreams. Brandon has become a role model for aspiring entrepreneurs with disabilities, demonstrating that success is not defined by one's limitations but by their determination and vision.

In addition to his work with The Adept Traveler, Brandon is a sought-after speaker, sharing his insights on entrepreneurship, accessibility, and the importance of inclusivity in the travel industry. His compelling story and powerful message resonate with audiences worldwide, further amplifying his impact and influence.
