Welcome to the 'Talking' Travel Peer Support Group where we invite you to come and share your experiences, tips and hints around all things Travel at our bi-monthly meetings, from going on holidays to general every day getting about.

We're pleased to invite you to join group facilitators Richard and Rachael Zimbler for our latest 'Talking' Travel peer support group meeting where we are delighted to welcome our guest speaker Liam Geschwindt, Cofounder & CEO of Touch Pulse who will be sharing details about their new outside navigational app Navis which is currently in the Beta testing phase.

Fresh from the Netherlands, Navis is the first A.I companion for outside navigation. Powered by Google Gemini, it provides walking instructions tailored to the needs of the blind or low vision.

Imagine stepping outside with the confidence that you’ll always reach your destination. Imagine knowing the right turn, the exact house number, the safest way forward — and feeling connected to the world around you every step of the way. That’s what Navis is built for.

Designed with and for the visually impaired, Navis combines cutting-edge technology with human support to make independent mobility simpler, safer, and more empowering.

Through advanced A.I and geospatial analysis it provides you with the information you need at the precise moment you need it. Navis is always evolving with new features and improvements based on what their Beta users tell them they need.

Please come along and feel free to ask any questions you may have for Liam regarding this innovative new app and how you can get involved in becoming a Beta user. Find out how to get exclusive access to Navis before its public release, and how your feedback will directly influence how they improve and expand the platform.

We also welcome you to come and share any mobility advice, information or tell us about any V.I holidays or travel experiences that you have enjoyed in the past and would like to recommend.

Richard and Rachael are happy to answer any questions or queries you may have around travel, holidays or getting out and about in general so please feel free to come and have a chat with them and the group for any support you may need.

We hope you can join us and look forward to seeing you there!
