This collection shares a glimpse into a trip I never expected to take — an 11-night journey to Antarctica that completely surprised me in the best possible way. I had never been on a cruise before, and truthfully, Antarctica wasn’t even high on my travel list. But what I found there was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced: wild landscapes, surreal moments with wildlife, and a deep sense of awe I didn’t see coming. From braving the Drake Passage to kayaking past elephant seals and witnessing a rare orca-humpback encounter, every day brought something unexpected. I learned things I never knew I was curious about, like how ancient ice forms or how unpredictable the weather can be at the bottom of the world. This isn’t a checklist kind of trip — it’s the kind that stays with you. I hope these reflections spark a little curiosity and maybe even inspire someone to consider an adventure they hadn’t thought about before. Because sometimes, the best experiences are the ones we never saw coming.
