Catarina joins Matt and talks about growing up in the U.S. in an immigrant home with Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage. She reflects on what those identities mean to her as well as her deafblind disability journey with Usher syndrome.  Catarina debunks common misconceptions people have about deafblind people and offers tips on non-disabled people can be better allies to disabled travelers.  She then reflects on how her interest in world travel developed and tells stories from a family trip to Spain in high school and more immersive trips to rural Kentucky, Argentina and Korea in college.  Next, Catarina talks about her first solo-trip with the white cane to Montreal, her love for Salsa dancing around the world, and her recent trip to Japan where she had epic tea experiences and got to try sumo-wrestling.  She then talks about the trip she led to Portugal for disable travelers and reflects and the power and impact of that experience.  Catarina next takes us on her journey of becoming an intersectional activist and building a fully remote company to smash disability stigmas. She explains how she designs her travel lifestyle and offers trips for disabled travelers as well as those traveling with a relationship partner.  And finally Catarina reflects on how traveling to nearly 40 countries has impacted her as a person.  <a href="https://www.themaverickshow.com/podcast/350-full-time-world-travel-as-a-deafblind-latina-and-smashing-disability-stigma-through-storytelling-advocacy-and-education-with-catarina-rivera/">FULL SHOW NOTES INCLUDING DIRECT
