Antarctica Expedition Part 2 | Western Peninsula
For anyone who missed part 1, I was lucky enough to join a 2-week Antarctica expedition voyage through my work over New Year. I know, it’s still crazy that I got to do this! Go read the first post for…
Antarctica Expedition Part 1 | Weddell Sea
It’s still so crazy that I can say I’ve been to Antarctica! Yes, you are reading this correctly. Wild, right? It wasn’t even really on my bucket list because it’s not somewhere I ever thought I’d get the chance (and…
Weekend Trip to Lake Tahoe | USA
After a crazy summer travelling all the way across Canada and then back again across the USA, my trip was almost complete. Having already visited much of the California coast earlier this year, there was one more place in the…

When planning my cross-country USA road trip, there was no way I wasn’t including the Grand Canyon. One of the most famous natural landmarks in America, even the world, a place I’ve seen photos of for as long as I…

After my time in Houston and Austin, there was one more city on my Texas itinerary. Just an hour on the train from Austin, I headed to San Antonio, where the Mexican-influence on the Lone Star State was more apparent…
Weekend in Austin, TX | USA
The State Capitol of Texas, Austin’s tagline of sorts is “Keep Austin Weird” – same as Portland, actually? I’m not sure how this weird reputation began, but my weekend in Austin was certainly eclectic. From history museums to urban bats…
