Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Depends what you mean by "ability" and "travel".
If you're asking whether I'm able to move about within my house, then sure. Beyond that, things get murky.
Does agoraphobia count as a disability? What if, for sufficiently short periods, it's bearable, but ultimately it crushes?
I've walked the 15 minutes down to the dentist's office and back (I'm lucky to live so close) a handful of times in the last couple of years (not so lucky with my teeth I guess), for example.
Or is this more about "Can [I] afford to use those modes of transport which take [me] to far-off places on a regular basis?"
Now we've got to define "far-off". In theory, I could probably afford to take the bus anywhere within the county on a regular basis. And if I did, there's a travel pass I could buy that would reduce the cost somewhat.
Taxis? Maybe once or twice a week if they remain relatively local.
Airline flights to foreign countries (or distant ends of the same one), which is probably what this is all about? I'd have to dip into savings, and those should probably be spent on more important things. So, no.
