About this listen

 We've just returned from one of the most extraordinary trips we’ve ever taken… Antarctica. This one was especially meaningful because it wasn’t just the two of us traveling. We actually hosted this as a group trip through our travel company, Sunshine Travelers Experiences, so we had the opportunity to share this adventure with a group of our listeners and clients. It’s one thing to visit a place like this on your own — but sharing it with a group of people who are just as excited about the journey really adds something to the experience. Especially since this is a trip that we have all been looking forward to for over a year now. Since we’ve been back, we’ve been getting a lot of questions about the trip. Things like: “Why would someone want to go to Antarctica?” “How do you even get there?” “Isn’t it incredibly cold?” And of course… “How much does it cost?” So today we’re going to answer some of the most common questions we’ve been hearing. We’ll talk about how you get to Antarctica, what it’s actually like when you arrive, what the Drake Passage crossing was like for us, and some of the experiences that made this trip unforgettable. In this episode, we’re focusing on Antarctica itself. In our next episode, we’ll talk more about the expedition cruise experience and the ship we sailed on. Some links are affiliate links.
