In January 2002 Craig moved to Barcelona and taught English as a Second Language for several months. During this time he traveled independently in Germany for over a month going from town to town by train. He encountered some difficulties in Berlin due to the lack of information for disabled travelers, such as accessibility in museums, hotels and restaurants. When he returned to Barcelona he decided to help people with disabilities that wanted to visit the city by writing a short access guide called, AccessibleBarcelona, which is now available online. Craig still lives in Barcelona and blogs about his experiences both in Spain and travels to other countries. So far Craig has visited more than 17 countries.
