Travel Tips
I traveled to Bryce Canyon National Park for the first time in 2007. Because I have a fear of “edges,” this park was challenging for me.
Canada & the North
We were zipping across Sermilik Fjord on an impossibly blue-sky day. I had convinced myself that it was going to rain every day that I was in Greenland, so this weather was an unexpected treat.

Almost every aspect of life has changed dramatically since the coronavirus pandemic began months ago. Today, we are still social distancing from family and friends; learning via remote, online platforms; and attending conferences, music performances and other public events virtually. It isn’t what we wanted, and it certainly hasn’t been fun.

After 20 years at Natural Habitat Adventures, I had the opportunity to do something new…share the experience of a Nat Hab trip with one of my children!

It has been a little less than a year since WWF’s Mac Mirabile journeyed to Alaska’s Katmai National Park to witness the world’s greatest brown bear habitat. Since then he compiled some amazing footage to share his experience. First, we saw bear cubs wrestling.

Home is a funny word. Most of us have a home we wake up in every morning; we might linger in the warm sheets on those frosty mornings, relish the smell of freshly brewed coffee coming from the kitchen and chit chat to our loved ones about the workday ahead.
Travel Tales
The world that I look out upon from the window in my home office, here in Wisconsin, is pretty quiet right now. In other times, the interstate just beyond the woods that surrounds my house would be busy with fast-moving cars and semitrucks. But presently, only occasionally does the sound of any traffic reach me.
Europe
We know most of our guests don’t choose our nature adventures for the food, although it’s generally excellent. On our Portugal kayaking adventure, however, the food is a hallmark! Guests overnight in luxurious manor houses and hospitable inns on vineyard estates (called quintas), joining host families for indulgent repasts of classic Portuguese food and wine.
Latin America
This year I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Patagonia in Argentina and Chile. Both countries have stunning landscapes and beautiful wildlife. The many shades of blue from glacier-fed lakes, lagoons, and waterfalls will stay with me always. While in Patagonia, I visited one of the most beautiful natural structures – Glaciar Perito Moreno.
