Read MoreHow to Spend 1 Day in Cartagena, Colombia
In 2019 I got to visit Cartagena as part of a Panama Canal cruise. It was somewhere I had wanted to visit for awhile and while one day wasn’t a lot of time, the Old Town area is quite small so I got to see and do more than expected. That being said, I still returned…

Read MoreWhat to Wear in Antarctica: An Antarctica Cruise Packing List
The first time I went to Antarctica was 2023. I had 18 months to plan for it and I still scrambled last minute panicking what I should or shouldn’t bring. I learned a lot over those 11 days so when I went back in 2025 for a 23-day expedition I was much better prepared. So…
