Maria Laborde of LatinAbroad.

• Travel blogger Maria Laborde went on a $250 Fathom cruise to the Dominican Republic.
• The trip combined travel with volunteering.
• She feels her work really made a difference in the community.

As a travel blogger and digital marketing translator fluent in Spanish and English, a Fathom cruise that combined vacation with volunteering was a perfect fit for Maria Laborde of LatinAbroad.

In between hiking waterfalls and riding water slides, she taught English to Dominican families.

She found that making an impact is what truly makes a trip unforgettable.
