Community+Travel

Traveling in the comunity is a whole lot more different then traveling in a school, or riding, and learning about a bus. When traveling in the comunity you have to be more alert, have good safe cane techniques, and use all of the clues that you hear. If you are traveling in a residential area and you what to find where one of your frends lives you would use clues and landmarks. You would need to find out where the apartment is located and how to get from where you are to where the apartment Another thing that a blind traveler such as my self would is become aquainted with any major landmarks. Landmarks are a wonderful thing to have in the comunity. Another system that I use when I travel in the comunity is the counting system. Lets say that I wanted to find my frends apart but I wasn't sure if it was the fith or sixteenth house down the street, if there are side walks I would count the side walks to get better aquainted with the lay out of the complex. Last there is the numbering system for the complex its self. The set up may be even numbers ont the right, odd numbers on the left.
