My top tip for travelling to Antarctica is to get a good pair of Merino wool inner gloves. These make it easier to take pictures without ever getting cold hands (and give you a good grip to open your phone).

My top 5 Antarctic moments
- Experiencing the Drake Shake on my first ever Antarctic expedition and the excitement of trying to eat dinner with my meal sliding everywhere!
- Doing the polar plunge – the camaraderie and hype beforehand was amazing. Everyone was so supportive.
- Arriving at Damoy Point and spotting hundreds of porpoising penguins in the sea, returning to their nesting sites, before I’d even gotten out of my bed
- Making the most of the Antarctic weather in early November by having snowball fights out on deck
- Conducting citizen science experiments out on the back deck while returning home and being bid farewell by royal albatrosses following the ship

More about me
- Snow, ice and mountains have always had a special place in my heart as an avid skier and outdoor enthusiast.
- I lived in Singapore for 2.5 years and now call the Bahamas home. I'm happiest in the two extremes: very hot or very cold!
- I particularly love Antarctica in the early season because it's so scenic and pristine.
- My wide-ranging adventures have taken me everywhere from Asia to Alaska. In fact, I've now been to all seven continents!
