I colored your situation with my own instead getting more information about what you really needed and answering your question. It is a bad habit and I apologize.
I particularly found section 3 Actually Walking Around pretty useful in the short term but in the end it has all proved useful so the entire thing was a good read
It looks like it could be a useful read for a sighted person trying to spot you as well
There have been a number of things I have listened to and read since that have provided some help as well…but it was harder to remember where I found them. If I hadn’t remembered originally finding the NFB one above on the page for their Free White Cane Program I might not of known where to find that either.
As for my situation, that is good advice that I will be following until I can make my trip and get that in person training. I can do well enough with the day to day now. My end goal, if I can manage to afford it, is to independently travel as much as I can. I never took the time to do that back when I could still see and am regretting it a bit. My O&M skills could use a bit more finesse for unfamiliar areas that I may not have as much time to learn as I would like.
