My Favorite Things to Do in Ushuaia, Argentina, the Gateway to Antarctica
I discovered plenty of things to do in Ushuaia during the three days I spent there before an Antarctica cruise

Discovering Things to Do in Puerto Natales, The Gateway to Torres del Paine in Chile’s Patagonia
We found a lot of different things to do in Puerto Natales, Chile during the week we stayed there.
Puerto Natales is the closest gateway town to the popular Torres del Paine National Park in Chile’s Southern Patagonia region.

Two Days in Los Glacieres National Park – The Best of Argentina’s Patagonia Region
Our Patagonia adventures started with two days in Los Glacieres National Park in Argentina

These are some of my favorite Princess cruise Antarctica photos from my trip on the Sapphire Princess that took me around South America and to the Antarctic peninsula. It was quite the scenic adventure.

Reflections from 2023
My annual recap after an incredible year of travel all over the globe.
“….changes in latitude, changes in attitude….”
This was certainly a year for the record books for me as I travelled across latitudes from the Antarctic all the way up to the Arctic. I can’t believe how many bucket list trips I was fortunate to indulge in.
