If you’re thinking of crossing off your bucketlist trip to Antarctica, you’re probably wondering just how bad it is to also cross the infamous Drake Passage. As of now, I have crossed the Drake Passage to and from Antarctica six times, so let me go ahead and give you an idea and some tips! Before I begin, if you’re interested in joining one of my epic trips to...
Five years ago almost every Antarctica expedition company denied my pitch to collaborate with them because “my demographic and I were not their target audience”. I was a twenty-nine year old solo female traveler and blogger, and despite my large audience and establishment in the travel industry, it meant nothing since we weren’t “Late-50’s, retired, married, and male...

First of all, I don’t know why the hell I thought Ice Camping in Antarctica was going to be a great idea. Wait, I do know. Because I watched a YouTube video of a super happy, cheerful couple doing it, with great weather, and having a great night of sleep, and thoughtl, “Oh yeah! That looks kind of nice!” I should have known better that not only is the weather in...
Can you imagine sea kayaking in Antarctica? While penguins dart like torpedoes underneath you, and icebergs show off their many shades of blue that plunge down into the dark abyss below? Ok maybe that last part was a bit morbid. But anyway! Sea Kayaking in Antarctica is one of the top in-demand additional activities you can sign up for! But it’s hard to get a spot...
I’ve just returned from my third expedition to the 7th continent, and this time it was an 11 day Antarctica Peninsula itinerary. Most of the itineraries for this trip are fairly similar, but always remember; EVERYTHING is weather dependent! This was my 3rd expedition to Antarctica hosting my IG followers AKA “MyLifesATravelTRIBE” The 11 Day...
2017 2022 When I first started traveling solo at what-I-thought-was-the-old-age of 26, I thought there was no way in hell I’d ever make it to my top bucketlist destination; Antarctica. It was just too expensive for formerly-broke-me, and as hard as I tried to pitch it as a collaboration (AKA for free in exchange for social media and blog posts), I was initially...
Barrientos Island in the Antarctic region December 2021 (Image copyright MyLifesAMovie.com) When you look at these photos, you might be wondering, “Why is Antarctica turning green?”, right? I don’t blame you, since usually when one thinks of Antarctica, it’s usually a pristine white with contrasting grey and blue image. However, I just...
Yes I wore this in Antarctica, no it is not normal to do so. Wondering what to pack for Antarctica, what seems like the coldest place on Earth? Don’t worry, there’s a good chance you’re going in summer, so it’s not super freezing, but still freezing. Take it from a girl who chases summer year-round, and who has also been to Antarctica (and the...
My number one bucketlist destination was and forever will have been ANTARCTICA! Not only in part because I wanted to reach all 7 continents before I turned 30, which I accomplished last December, but because it’s only of the few untouched areas of Earth that you can still see in a purely natural state! The ride over was ROUGH, as you can see in the video, but...
