another tip for when you're staying in a
hotel room
[Music]
hey guys Sam with the blind life so once
again I'm in another hotel room and I've
got another great easy simple tip for
you nowadays everybody uses these key
cards for their hotel room doors
some of them slide into a little slot
some of them you push into a some
you just touch to the face of it and it
unlocks the door but everybody seems to
use these and they're great but it's
just a completely smooth piece of
plastic you know if someone with vision
impairment there's no way to tell which
way you're holding this and which way it
needs to go into the slot so a very
simple solution to that is to mark the
card somehow and what you do is when
you're checking in to your hotel room
and they give you your card just ask
them to market an easy way to do it is a
simple piece of tape that's what I had
to do today sometimes they will even
take a hole punch and punch a hole in
one of the corners of the card for you
but if they don't want to damage the
card then just a simple piece of tape
will work great so I asked them to put
the tape on the back side and the right
corner so that I would know which way to
orientate the card what I needed to put
in this slot and that's it super easy
now I guess of course some people will
say well chances are you're traveling
with somebody they can help you a spouse
relative a friend suicided
yes but the goal is to be independent as
much as possible and this is a very easy
way to solve this problem to make it so
you can use these cards with no problem
