A selfie of the author in Antarctica.
Traveling to Antarctica proved to be more rigorous than expected, but I don't regret spending the time and money to go.
  • I paid $5,700 to travel to Antarctica in November 2022 with Australian tour company Intrepid Travel.
  • Unfortunately, bad weather canceled the camping excursion and forced us to leave a day early.
  • I still had the time of my life and do not regret going to a place that fully captivated me.

It has been a year since I stepped foot on Antarctica for the first time — joining a small club of people who have faced the remote frozen desert.
