Life Changing Moments: My First Time Traveling Abroad

Posted on April 9, 2013 by lnpa | 1 Comments

In life, there are a few key moments that prove to be crucial in forming you as a person. A trip to France in the summer of 2006, was one of mine. I was still slowly emerging from a deep depression that even lead me to require homeschooling for my last year of high school. After graduating in June 2004,…

Antarctica – Get Yourself There…. It’s Amazing!

Posted on March 19, 2013 by BernasconiPhotography | 5 Comments

I’m gonna have to say it again – Antarctica was the trip of my dreams. Whales, seals, penguins (lots of them), birds, beautiful landscapes and icebergs – I really, really loved the icebergs. We organised our Antarctica trip through Quark (click here if you’re in the States) or Peregrine in Australia (click here). We booked the ‘Crossing the Circle’ Tour which was 14 days aboard…

My Polar Plunge in the Southern Ocean at 2 Degrees

Posted on March 1, 2013 by BernasconiPhotography | 2 Comments

I didn’t want to do the polar plunge in Antarctica at first; in fact, I actually hadn’t given it much thought at all. The Quark ship anchored in Paradise Bay and at that stage, I was happy to photograph everyone doing the polar plunge and soak up the atmosphere, without actually getting in myself. There were a few factors that…

10 Seconds of Courage

Posted on October 29, 2012 by chelseastuart | 1 Comments

There are so many ways you can learn about culture. You can read about it in a book, in a blog, or find it yourself speaking with someone different from you. The other way to do it is as simple as it can be scary: Go there! Think about another culture like a foreign language. Often times, someone studying a new…

Mt. Kinabalu Recalling

Posted on October 21, 2012 by Angela HUYNH | 0 Comments

A raining day again. I am in my room, facing my laptop and has just finished the book “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. The book reminded me of my climbing trip to Mt. Kinabalu, Malaysia in the summer of 2010. Honestly, I climbed to the mountain with my silly excitement without any physical and mental preparation which caused my unable-reaching-the-summit….

Decide that You Want It More than You are Afraid of It!

Posted on October 15, 2012 by Lesley | 2 Comments

I don’t allow restrictions or fears to limit my life! Life is worth living, after all, and I’m going to live every day like it is my last. Most people create a bucket list because they are dying but I created one because I want to live. I’ve avoided one bucket list item, however, that brought such fear to my…

Cooper Landing, Alaska is a long way from St. Paul, MN, but for Ben Johnson, it was the portal to an amazing future. He first saw the town as a 20 year old college student when he took a job at a campground on the Russian River. The next summer, Ben again headed west and north, fueled by gas station…

Thousand Steps

Posted on July 12, 2012 by heathergoyette | 3 Comments

It was late in the day, just a few hours before sunset, but we wanted one last adventure. Early April is fickle and this day was no exception. The day had dawned warm and bright, warm enough to wear shorts, but clouds had moved in, filtering the sun along with a stiff wind. We drove on, passing small town after…

Conquering the Mountain

Posted on June 24, 2012 by heathergoyette | 2 Comments

It was June and the time had come. I had been waiting for this day for a few years and it was finally here. The kids were old enough to hike Mount Marcy! At 5,344 feet, Mount Marcy is the highest peak in New York State. It is located in my very favorite place, the Adirondacks. My husband and I…
