The Antarctica Polar Plan
Over the next two and a half years, I’m chasing two goals: visiting 50 countries before I turn 50, and stepping foot on Antarctica; my 7th continent, on my actual birthday. This is the real journey: money, obstacles, and all.
“I don’t have it all figured out yet. That’s kind of the point.”
I’m not starting this with a sponsorship, a savings cushion, or a clear plan for how the math works out. I’m starting it with a deadline, a goal that scares me a little, and 8 years of proof that I figure things out as I go. This page is where I’ll document all of it: the countries, the savings, the setbacks, and the days I don’t want to do any of it but do it anyway.
