Anyone ever go on one of the nat geo expeditions? Are they worth the $$$? I really want to go on one but cannot justify the cost 😢 I was looking at the Antarctica and Patagonia expedition cruises.

Antarctica is so worth it if you can go. I went with One Ocean a couple years before they ran into all their issues and I don’t think any travel experience can top that, other than maybe a trip back there and hitting South Georgia as well.

I went on the SE Alaska one as part of a multi-generational family trip. It was a great experience. They have multiple really knowledge naturalists on board who lead talks/expeditions and are available for any question you have. Also fantastic from a logistics point of view (meal times, activities, etc) and the smaller ship was really enjoyable. How much you value the experience will likely depend on how interested you are in nature.

Ugh I want to go to Antarctica so badly but even “low end” trips start at like $8K

Same. The one I was looking at is 16k per person 🤦🏽‍♀️

Also, not sure how things are now with covid but in the past, if your timing was flexible, you could wait in Ushuaia and get on last minute for cheap if a boat still had space.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
