Delhi was amazing. I had no idea what to expect, but it was a fantastic way to kick off what I know will truly be a life changing trip. After arriving in the airport, I hopped off the plane and headed for customs. I had noone in front of me in line, but it still took about 10 minutes because there is a paper form that you are supposed to fill out that they didn't give us on the plane or have readily available at customs, so you had to fill it out at the agent's desk. The funn

I just landed in India for the Contiki Eternal India trip and could not be more excited.

Contiki Cape to Delta Safari: What I Wish I Knew

Our time in the Okavango Delta was highlighted by our visit to a den with wild dog pups.

To break up the long journey to the Okavango Delta, the group enjoyed a unique stopover at Gweta Lodge, kicked off by a lucky sighting of wild dogs. The highlight of the detour included a visit to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, where they interacted with wild meerkats and experimented with forced perspective photography in the vast landscape. The day concluded with a sunset viewing and stargazing under a majestic baobab tree before they turned in to prepare for the final leg of

We headed to Chobe National Park for game drives, a night of camping & a sunset cruise down Chobe River.

During our time in Victoria Falls, I went zip lining over the gorge & took a helicopter over the falls!

Our time in Kruger National Park was the experience of a lifetime, where we saw cheetahs, leopards & wild dogs!

The past few days in Cape Town with Contiki were an absolute whirlwind and a fantastic way to kick off what will surely be the trip of a lifetime. I feel like I say that a lot about my trips, but most Contiki trips are truly the trip of a lifetime and I am so fortunate to be on eight of them so far in my lifetime, about to embark on my ninth. The Orientation & First Evening Our Contiki trip kicked off on Sunday evening with an orientation from Jesse, our Contiki Trip Manager,

I spent my first two days in Cape Town seeing an old friend, having a wine tasting, and taking a walking tour of the Bo-Kaap area of Cape Town!

Today was the day. Today, I stepped on my seventh continent. After the first few days where the weather was inclement or the landing site was unsafe for me to get off the zodiac, I was wondering if I would achieve my goal of setting foot on all seven continents. It would have been a beautiful scenic cruise, but expensive if I didn’t achieve my goal. There are major cruise lines that go to the very tip of the Antarctic Peninsula for a sightseeing only cruise for a third of the
