Antarctica

 

The legendary continent of Antarctica not only fascinates the rest of the world, but we are also just as fascinated by Antarctica. For a long time, Antarctica was far from our reach. Since we were suddenly closer to Antarctica than ever before with Ushuaia, Argentina, the journey to the seventh continent became possible for us. In Antarctica, we see a hint of the eternal ice, rugged mountain peaks, icebergs and wild animals perfectly adapted to the cold and desolation of Antarctica. The least travelled continent in the whole world is now part of our travel memories, read below in our blogs how we experienced Antarctica!

About us

We are Paddy and Mimi, a travel-hungry couple from tiny Switzerland in the middle of Europe. We call ourselves slow travelers, because we like to spend enough time in one place or country. Therefore we don’t only visit the typical sights but also get to know the culture of the respective country.

Our current location:

Foz do Iguaçu, Brasil
