Great post!! I loved reading your answers (and your questions!) Ah, coffee… 🙂 Why Antartica? I’m highly curious. Thanks for participating!
Thanks Katie! Years ago, I watched a documentary on a trip of a lifetime to Antarctica. Passengers were aboard a ship with an ice-cutter, which enabled them to visit areas in Antarctica people had never set foot. It was incredibly beautiful and amazing. It has always stuck in my mind 😀
That’s awesome. I love stories like that. I hope you get to see it someday. 🙂
It would be really awesome, thank you 😀
