## Caption

Planning a trip as a Deaf or Hard of Hearing traveler doesn’t have to feel overwhelming - it just takes a little intention. Elisa & Michelle took a deaf, hard-of-hearing girls weekend trip to Eugene to try out some hearing-looped venues and the trip was sponsored by eugenecascadesandcoast

If you’re headed to Eugene, Oregon, let elisa.richards and mama.hu.hears walk you through how to build a DHH-friendly weekend from start to finish. From choosing accessible lodging to finding attractions and restaurants where communication is easier, a little planning goes a long way in turning travel into something joyful instead of stressful.

On this trip we explored some great spots including graduateeugene, cottagetheatre, eugenecascadescoast sciencefactory_eugene, and the mnch_uo Museum of Natural and Cultural History — all places where visual experiences, thoughtful staff, and accessibility options make it easier to relax and enjoy the moment.
A few things that make DHH travel smoother:
• Look up accessibility features before you go
• Ask venues about hearing loops, captioning, or interpreters
• Bring backup batteries and device chargers
• Give yourself permission to advocate and educate when needed

The goal isn’t a perfectly accessible trip - it’s creating space for connection, curiosity, and fun along the way.

Save this post for your next trip to Eugene and tag a DHH traveler who would love this itinerary. 💚
