About Me

I've seen 27 polar bears in the Arctic!
I've seen 27 polar bears in the Arctic!

I specialize in planning Arctic expedition travel for those who want to explore one of the most dynamic and wildlife-rich regions on Earth.

The Arctic is not a single destination but instead it’s a collection of distinct ecosystems shaped by sea ice, seasonal light, wildlife migration, and geography. From Svalbard’s polar bear territory to Greenland’s massive fjord systems, choosing the right region, ship, and timing is critical to your experience. I guide my clients through those decisions with clarity and strategy.

Whether you’re seeking a wildlife-focused expedition cruise, dramatic glacial landscapes, or culturally immersive Arctic communities, I design itineraries that align with your goals, comfort level, and expectations.

Svalbard Expeditions: Prime polar bear habitat with flexible expedition-style cruising focused on wildlife viewing.

Greenland Expeditions: Ice fjords, Inuit communities, and dramatic Arctic scenery.

Northwest Passage Expeditions: Expedition style travel that explores the Canadian Arctic by ship. 

Churchill Trips: The best place in the world to see Polar Bears! 

High Arctic & Remote Routes: Advanced itineraries exploring remote northern regions, including expedition voyages that prioritize exploration over fixed schedules.

Small-Ship Expedition: Comparisons Guidance on vessel size, ice class, activity options (kayaking, hiking, photography programs), onboard expertise, and expedition philosophy.

Pre- & Post-Expedition Logistics: Air routing, charter flights, Arctic gateways, hotel coordination, and travel insurance recommendations.

How I Work With Clients

Arctic travel requires careful timing. Wildlife patterns, sea ice conditions, and seasonal daylight all influence your experience. I help you determine:

The best month to travel based on wildlife priorities

Which Arctic region aligns with your goals

Appropriate activity level and physical requirementsCabin selection and ship atmosphere

Budget considerations relative to expedition style

Two Arctic itineraries may appear similar, but landing flexibility, wildlife focus, and onboard culture can vary significantly. I provide clear comparisons so you can choose confidently.

Beyon Expectations!
Reviewed By Rafa - Madrid, Spain | Traveled to Antarctica
I've taken 2 trips planned by Lina, and both were amazing: Papua New Guinea and Antarctica. Both trips have been true highlights in my travel history, and a big part has been Lina. Aside from both being incredible destinations, a big part of the success of both trips was how Lina took great care of every detail. I 100% recommend Lina's services and look forward to travel with her again!
