Travel Tips Thread!

Many of you have reached out, asking me what company I used to plan my trips. I actually plan the vast majority entirely myself. So since so many of you seem curious, here’s how I do it: 1/ Disclaimer 1: For certain polar locations I have booked cruises through Quark Expeditions. These include my trip to Antarctica, as well as upcoming trips to Greenland and Svalbard. I particularly like this company due to their focus on environmental protection and education. 2/
