Super Close Whale Encounters and End of Voyage Celebrations 🐋 🇦🇶 🎉 | ANTARCTICA day 10: PART 2
Hello there and welcome! I am on my 6-week-long trip to Chile, Argentina, and Antarctica. In today's video, we embarked on our very last zodiac cruise of our Antarctic trip. While cruising we got to get very close to a lot of whales and it was such a surreal way to end the trip! This is part two to day 10 of our voyage and coming up next are two sea days crossing the drake passage as we head back to Argentina! Thanks for watching!

Our Last Day Exploring Antarctica, Kayaking, and Playing with Seals 🇦🇶 | ANTARCTICA day 10: PART 1
Переглядів 45День тому
Hello there and welcome! I am on my 6-week-long trip to Chile, Argentina, and Antarctica. In today's video, my friend and I were finally able to kayak as we were on the waitlist and we unexpectedly saw so many seals! They were all very playful and then once we docked on land we continued to interact with them (from a distance of course!). This was our last day exploring Antarctica before crossi...

Hello there and welcome! I am on my 6-week-long trip to Chile, Argentina, and Antarctica. In today's video, I came across some very curious penguins. Since they don't have predators on land (as adults, some birds attack eggs and chicks) they were not afraid of us at all! They were especially curious about our hiking poles. I also got to explore inside an old base, which felt like stepping back ...

    Hey Katherine! Was waiting to see this post trip report. Sounds like you had your ups, downs and in-betweens on your EF Ultimate Break Patagonia tour. But overall, a very fun experience! Glad you enjoyed your trip. I agree on your comparison with Europe: some parts of the world have way more English speakers and are easier to plan yourself than others. That phone story does sound shocking. I remember you mentioning it during your series. Glad you didn't lose it. Note to self, get a strap or pop socket for my own phone before vacations! Argentina is one of my bucket list destinations, and I've been reading the inflation rate issues they've been dealing with. Cash is still king it seems, so American and maybe exchanging some money before you arrive might be the way to go. I've also heard that Western Union is pretty popular to use in South America. Did you see them in Chile and your other South America trips as well, or was it more obviously visible in Argentina? Thanks for giving your thoughts, Katherine. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in Argentina, including the Uruguay boat ride you mentioned, and your Antarctica cruise. Take care and have a great week! 👍😀

    Hey Katherine. You finally made it to Buenos Aires! ... Was that Minecraft on your TV in the hotel? That's amazing Sounds like you had a great time seeing the beautiful bookstore and going on the bike and cemetery tours, minus the mosquitoes. That tango/musical performance looked fun too. I can imagine having those insects biting all the time was absolutely nerve-wracking and painful. Luckily you (hopefully) got some relief in that cream you bought. I'd love to see a video on what are your favorite websites/companies to book day tours on when you solo travel. If you're up for a challenge, there's loads of group tour companies who offer biking trips across countries. G Adventures and Intrepid come to mind, although I believe Contiki has a few as well. Hope you have fun on the Uruguay boat tour! Enjoy the rest of your time in Argentina and see you in the next one! 😃👍

    I know this is a 2 month old video, but regardless I wanted to leave a comment here. I can't believe you've already been to so many countries! I've traveled a bit and I've only been to like, 13 outside of the US. Would love to double that list by 2030! (giving myself a little bit of leeway on the years there lol) I do hope that eventually that Russia will be safe to come back to again. I've been there several times (Russian background here as well, have family there, used to go frequently to see them and took some tours with some American friends a few times who wanted to see it years ago, though it wasn't anything special - Moscow and St. Petersburg only. But for first timers, it's beautiful and the white nights are gorgeous in St.Petersburg) and I can't go back now due to the unfortunate ongoing current situation, though I'd like to when it stops and places (tour agencies, etc) and people are open to going there again. It is beautiful, despite the government and how they act. Outside of that, do you have any recommendations for people who don't quality for Ultimate Break or Contiki because they might not be in that advertised age range? / have you taken tours with any other companies?

    Great job, Katherine! 11 miles and 1500 calories, uphill and downhill, is no joke! Kudos to the achievement. You definitely earned that Coke Zero! FOMO has such a negative impact on people's enjoyment of their trips, and can make any trip feel lesser. But listening to your body and knowing your limits is so much more important. And there's nothing to feel bad about after hiking for that long through multiple terrains and beautiful sights with a big, albeit tired, smile 👍 Just a question: do you have an arm strap for your phone when you're filming? I think you mentioned that your camera comes with a neck strap, but I can imagine filming in 1 hand on uneven terrain while keeping your balance can be a struggle. Can't wait for part 6 in Buenos Aires. Hope you're having fun in Argentina and that you have fun on your Antarctica cruise! Take care 😃

    Hey Katherine. Great new video. Short and sweet, showing the small town vibes of El Chalten. I can imagine having what amounts to 3 days of hiking in Patagonia in a row would be both exhilarating and exhausting. 1 more video for the series finale! You've done a great job showing your EF Ultimate Break Patagonia tour. Looking forward to seeing your large hike and adventures in Bueno Aires! Keep up the great work Katherine! Happy travels 😃👍
