E2 Traveling with Catarina Rivera (Who in the World is Asking the Questions?)

Take a trip with us to learn all about accessible travel! Catarina Rivera joins us to share about her travels, her tips, her work, and her desires for even more access. She has lots of information for you if you are a person with a disability who wants to travel. She has lots of insight and passion to share with you if you are a non-disabled person. She basically has all the fabulous words and Rocco and Christy just stumble through this episode as they sit in awe of all this wisdom. Or in jealousy of this location independent lifestyle. Certainly not in lack of preparation or a fog settling over cognition--never that.
