Hi Thorkky, I hope you are having a good day. Your interest in travelling is something to be encouraged! I think that you should discuss this matter with your parents or legal guardians first, just to make sure they know what you're dreams and aspirations are. Try to also schedule an appointment with your guidance counselor at school or maybe someone from your local community center. Always ask for advice from people within your social circles so there won't be any risks with regards to being misled. And finally, do some research on how the application process would go for earning a scholarship with regards to students with special needs is concerned. If you have a friend or a relative who can guide and encourage you on your quest, so much the better. Have fun and stay intellectually curious!

Welcome to Reddit! One thing to keep in mind about studying in a foreign country is the language issue. If you use text to speech, you're going to need to make sure you have software that can work in the language you want to study. If that language is already offered at your local school, they should already have the software you need, or be able to get it for you. But if not, you're on your own there. Similarly if you use Braille at all (based on you're title you probably don't), getting Braille instruction in English is hard enough. If you're going to attend university in another language, you may need to learn Braille in that language before you leave.

The short answer is yes. The slightly longer is, it sort of depends on where you want to go and how much you’re willing to advocate for yourself. You’re going to want to look into the services offered and what their required to do under that country’s law. Then you’re going to need to reach out and make sure the services and your requirements are met, sadly few places will do this for you, without a little pushing on your part, but hey, no one ever said being blind is going to be easy. If you want to study abroad, by all means go do it just be prepared for the work that that’s going to entail
