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.

Fantastic Philippines
Reviewed By YorkMapper - Saratoga, New York | Traveled to Philippines | East and Southeast Asia
Lina is a great travel advisor. I would engage her again and would consider traveling with them on their group tours as well . Lina took my suggestions for a trip to the Philippines, selected just the right tour to join and also customized the rest of the trip. She filled in all of the gaps: best flights, best fit for hotels and great suggestions. She answered all of my endless and silly questions very promptly (and while on international travel herself). She was also available during my trip and helped me quite a bit. Thanks Lina!
Lina Stock responded
"I am always thrilled when someone wants to travel to a place that I love myself. The Philippines is one of these places! It was such a pleasure to plan your visit, and I love to hear that you had a fantastic time. Thank you for putting your trust in me and I can't wait to help you with your next one! "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Antarctica Trip
This was an absolutely incredible trip! Lina was available with helpful hints, insights, and information. Her experience with Antarctica helped add context to different landing locations and just general things to expect. 10/10 would book another trip with them!

Tanzania Safari
Just back from the most incredible safari through Tanzania, all thanks to Lina. Everything was handled with such care, precision, and genuine passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Her communication was super responsive, clear, and incredibly proactive. You’re truly in the best hands. She chose outstanding local partners, beautiful accommodations, and included unforgettable activities. Every detail felt intentional and thoughtfully planned.
