Travels in a blue chair
by Walt Balenovich
Funny things happen when you're backpacking alone around the world! Now imagine doing and seeing it all from my blue wheelchair. My book of adventures on four wheels is an entertaining new twist on the iconic North American backpacker. I have found myself in some amazing, funny and harrowing situations, with only my wits, smile, blue chair and the friends I met along the way to help me through. I have spent a great part of my life exploring the world and meeting the people on it, alone, in my blue chair.
I had
polio when I was 12 weeks old and spent the first 5
years of my life
in the hospital, after finally being released to enter kindergarten, use
coloured towels and
eat non-flaked potatoes. After finishing school,
I
became an I.T. consultant, which allowed me to travel
after completing
one of my contracts, which usually took
six months to a year.
You can learn more about myself and the book at...

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each book
will go to
support Rotary International's programme to
vaccinate children against polio in the Third World.
Please contact me via email,

Thank you for reading this and happy travels!

while backpacking
alone around the world, and it's all in my new
book of short stories.”
