My first trip to South America was 22 years ago, and since then my passion and enthusiasm for the continent has only strengthened. I enjoy returning each year, keen to explore new areas.
I have previously explored the Canadian High Arctic, which I absolutely loved. In November 2019, I was lucky enough to tick Antarctica off my bucketlist on board the Greg Mortimer. I was blown away by the difference in both the polar regions and the pure beauty of a place so wild and untouched.
