It’s always just about this time of year, when I’ve headed back to work after the holidays and straight into reality, that I start the countdown until the next vacation. Oh, you, too?!?
It’s not that I mind working, because I truly don’t, it’s just the idea of getting out of the routine of regular daily life that’s so appealing. The chance to change-it-up in a new place with new adventures, meet new people, and explore a new and unfamiliar place.
But — what if your vacation could be more than just a vacation? What if you could really get out and explore this new place you’re visiting? What if your vacation could leave an impact forever on the lives of the locals you meet? Enter our newest partner, Fathom, a company that’s doing “vacation” a little differently.
Fathom offers one of a kind experiences with just the right amount of recreation. Setting sail this spring from Miami headed to the Dominican Republic, they combine your love of travel with your desire to make a difference in our world. This is a whole new category of travel! Part of the Carnival Corporation family, Fathom offers families authentic, meaningful travel experiences to enrich your life of the traveler as you work alongside locals to t
ackle community needs.
Fathom travelers get to be a participant in social impact activities. These are things like helping a local woman make artisan chocolates, teaching English skills, teaching small groups of locals conversational English so they can get better jobs, and building water filters so families have safe drinking water.
Above all, these cruises to the Dominican Republic are fun! You can spend your time doing nothing but social impact activities OR you can spend your time doing a mix of both social impact and recreational activities. Whether it’s exploring ancient ruins, interacting with the marine life in the crystal clear water, lounging along stretches of surf and sand, or participating in social impact activities, you will have the opportunity to make the most of your experiences in the Dominican Republic.
So when planning that next family trip (Spring Break!?!?), think Fathom, a company who’s doing family vacation a little differently.
