Jan 15 2025 - New Adventure

This weekend I depart on my latest adventure. I will be teaming up with Cunard cruise lines to give a series of talks aboard their newest, most modern cruise liner, the Queen Anne.

This voyage will take me from New York, to Miami, Cartagena Colombia, then through the Panama Canal to Guatemala, then I'll be getting off the ship in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

I will post updates when I can. Day to day updates will be found here.

Dec 30 2024 - Wrapping Up 2024

I hope you all had a great 2024 full of adventures. It was definitely a t=year to remember for me with travel to Alaska, Greenland (twice!), the Canadian Arctic, New Zealand & Australia and more. There were storms, northern lights, a comet, and eclipse, icebergs, glaciers, and many other amazing natural phenomena that I was fortunate enough to witness and share.

Quite a few talks, television appearances, and I even relieved the King Charles III Coronation medal!.

See you all in 2025.
