Phoenyx Powell is a travel writer and disability travel expert who challenges how the tourism industry defines accessibility.
As the founder of Phoenyx Travels, she goes beyond checklists and compliance to highlight what actually works and what doesn’t for disabled travelers in real-world conditions.
After a motorcycle accident in 2016 and an amputation in 2023, she rebuilt her approach to travel across multiple stages of disability, giving her a rare, firsthand perspective on evolving access needs. Her work bridges the gap between policy and lived experience, helping destinations move from performative inclusion to practical, usable accessibility.
