Welcome to the YouTube home of Init4LongHaul — where I document long-haul journeys, cruise adventures, and accessible travel experiences from a deeply personal perspective.
Sometimes I travel with my daughter Lauren, who uses a wheelchair and has special educational needs. Other times, it’s just me. Occasionally I’m joined by my wife, or we travel together as a family. Each trip is different — but they all have one thing in common: a focus on real-world travel, with honest reviews and practical tips, especially when accessibility matters.
