I’d love to go to Asia, I don’t feel like I’ve been very far East. Also want to cross the equator, I’ve already done the Arctic circle when we went to Kiruna.

Absolutely fantastic. We went during the polar twilight (so late October/early November) so it was chilly but not excessively cold (by Svalbard standards).

We'd love to go back one day.
