Last year I bought several tickets to the Women’s World Cup including the final match in Vancouver without knowing who was going to make to play and who was going to make it to the end.

Life is about creating unforgettable moments. Dave and I are lucky to be able to travel the world creating memories through our adventures, and when we come home, we feel that the adventure should continue.

We had visions of massive buggies crossing the white tundra landscape in search of the great polar bear. We never thought of walking with polar bears. Can you imagine walking with this guy? Everyone knows that the polar bear is a dangerous bear and one of the few animals on earth that has actually been known to stalk humans. In other words, you should stay away from polar bears. So when we heard we’d be walking with Polar Bears on this …
