Legally Blind Woman is Looking for a Travel Buddy

A 30-year-old woman who is legally blind is looking for a travel buddy. Here's more from ABC:

Talya Washington is 30 years old. She's caught the travel bug and has the photos and memories to prove it. For her next adventure, she's turned to Craigslist posting an ad to anyone who may be hitting the open road.

"If you're going somewhere cool, and you're willing to take a traveler with you, definitely let me know," says Washington.

For her, it's the best way to get around.

"I can see shape, color, movement, light. I just can't see any of that well," says Washington, who was diagnosed with degenerative myopia as a child.

"I have no idea what my eyes will be like in 10 years. I have no idea what my eyes will be like in a week, but I can say that I'm going to continue to do what I want anyway," said Washington.

No doubt there are dangers, but she weighs the risks every time.

"We have to use our other senses to build up the same amount of intuition that other people have," she said.

These trips are her unique way to see the world.

Talya says this is her way to take an adventure despite the problems with her vision. Love this! I hope she gets to take the trip she's hoping for!
