Creator's Key Takeaways

I think that was the roughest seas I've ever been through.

Greenland's been on our bucket list for so long and it exceeded our expectations.

If I can do that, I can get that to Antarctica.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be flexible with your dates when flying into Nuuk due to frequent flight cancellations.
Book the ferry in advance, as rooms can sell out, especially last minute.
Consider taking seasickness tablets before departure if you're prone to seasickness.

After travelling the world as a couple in 2020 we had our very first baby, we then spent the following year self-converted a van before moving into it full-time to drive around Australia. Cut to 2023 we welcomed our second child Koa into the world before resuming full-time travel around the world. ----------------------------------------­­-- 0:00 Intro
