“I think my favorite moment was seeing the polar bears for the first time. They are so majestic, and as they come closer to the Polar Rovers, it’s exhilarating. Seeing all the little cubs was pretty amazing, too. It’s a trip I’d love to repeat and one that will always hold a special place in my heart!”
