Rachel was invited to join new cruise line Fathom -- a new branch of Carnival Cruises -- on its inaugural voyage. She sailed from Miami to Dominican Republic, participating in 4 days of "impact activities" on the ground, including English teaching to students, language immersion in underserved communites, and reforestation projects in the Northern coast's mangroves.
