What was your most memorable moment?
It is hard to choose just one, but I think I have to go with seeing gentoo and chinstrap penguin chicks. To be so close to nature happening, it is amazing. The other one was a one-minute silence we did in a Zodiac. It is incredible how loud and beautiful the sound of water is, ice melting, ice carving.

Tell us about Zodiac excursions
The zodiac cruises are amazing! At first I thought: 'what are we going to do for so long in such a small boat?'. But every time it felt like I blinked twice and we were already back on the ship. There is so much to see! And the guides are amazing too - they seem to know everything. And they have a very high respect for nature which I really loved.
Tell us about the expedition team
What a lovely, professional, and badass group of people!
Tell us about the Ortelius
The ship was like being at an amazing hotel. Especially the food - it was mind-blowing!

Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
Clothes are everything! Make sure you have good quality clothes, and then no, you won't be cold! How awesome is that?
How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
I felt very prepared - having read all the documents, I knew exactly what to bring and what to expect. Okay that last part is a lie, I THOUGH I knew what to expect - but it was so much more (in a positive way of course)!:)
