Resources for Deaf Communities
This page is dedicated to all Deaf communities worldwide,
including Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, and Late-Deafened. I’m aiming to provide accessible and relatable information for our Deaf communities, whether it is through a blog post or a video. Some resources will be written (and/or filmed) by guests too! You’ll find resources that may or may not apply to you. If you have any idea that you’d like to share, send me an email!

Travel resources for all
Connection.
You may able to connect some via Facebook groups: Solo Deaf Travelers, Deaf Travel Community, Deaf Travel Group, Travel for Deaf / Viaje para las…sordos, and many more. Just Search “deaf travel” or explore with different words that you can come up with. Some of these groups may be inactive, and some I don’t personally tried it yet but recommend you to check it out.

There are groups but it’s very few as most are inactive. One that is sometimes active is Deaf and Signing Couch Surfers.
