We recently returned from the trip of a lifetime: circumnavigating the arctic island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago of islands located north of the mainland, a 2 hour flight from Tromso. Together we embarked on a 10-day excursion on the M/S quest ship with Polarquest (Expedition Svalbard). Our goal was to experience the beautiful and…

Read the PostOver the weekend Amsterdam’s canals froze over and it was one of the most amazing sights we’ve ever seen. To give you an idea of how rare this is, the last time it happened was over 6 years ago! The Dutch don’t hesitate to take advantage of an opportunity to ice skate. The first day people were on the ice,…
