本文以六个国家的二十八位盲人为例，探讨盲人在陪同与无人陪同下的独立旅行。这些经验是从作为一个更大的旅行问题研究项目的一部分进行的访谈中获得的。这项研究的目的是增进对他们旅行行为的了解，包括对使用旅行辅助工具或有视力的导游的偏好、他们的空间表现和对无障碍信息系统和公共空间的需要，以及跨国比较和为便利（聋）盲人的日常旅行和旅游旅行所需的改变。对他们经验的分析被用来在通信和获取信息、支持国际旅行的国际标准化、过境（指标）、街道设施、定向和流动培训、公共交通等领域提出建议，以及进一步研究的建议。
This article draws on the experiences of 28 deafblind people in six different countries to discuss accompanied and unaccompanied independent travel for deafblind people. These experiences were obtained from interviews carried out as part of a larger research project on travel issues. The research aimed to improve understanding of their travel behavior, including preferences for the use of travel aids or sighted guides, their spatial representations and the need for accessible information systems and public spaces, as well as cross-country comparisons and the changes required to facilitate both everyday and tourism travel for (deaf)blind people. The analysis of their experiences was used to develop recommendations in the areas of communication and access to information, international standardization to support international travel, crossing (indicators), street furniture, orientation and mobility training, and public transport, as well as suggestions for further research.
