Meet Angus, Founder of Limitless Travel

“I didn’t want to let muscular dystrophy change my sense of adventure.”

There are some conversations you don’t forget.

I was 23, working as a banker in London, feeling young and invincible, as you do at that age. But a routine check-in I had with my doctor changed all that in a morning. I was diagnosed with MD and told that one day I would need a wheelchair. The news was devastating, but it gifted me a new perspective that my banking salary couldn’t afford.

I quit my job, bought the largest backpack I could find, and set off to discover a world that might one day be cut off from me. My wife and I travelled across 35 countries.

It was beautiful and actualizing. But as we climbed Machu Picchu and canoed through Vietnam, I noticed my mobility worsening. I needed a walking stick, and some routes just plain hurt. It gradually dawned on me that the world was not set up for disabled travel and things would only get harder.
