Dear Travel Agents/Advisors,

Let me start with my own reasons for having Greenland on my bucket list. As a child, my favorite subject at school was geography. I was a dreamer and all I thought about was traveling. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to start traveling until I was in my 30s because before then, money was a big problem. 

As a child I was always curious and fascinated by the size and location of Grœnland (the real name of the country.) Translated to Portuguese it is Groenlândia (not Greenland as we know it in English). I always wondered who would visit such a vast country so close to the Arctic when there were so many other countries (especially Europe) to visit. I thought it was just for those who had already been to many other countries and needed an extra kick. So, I studied more about Greenland. 

Finally, I made it there and it was so exciting! It is a huge country, full of glaciers and fjords. People live in many different parts of the country, and are extremely friendly. Nothing is green. Houses are very colorful and I was surprised to see that supermarkets even sell oat milk.  

When you visit Greenland during the summer PLEASE have a net covering your head. Flies are everywhere. They don’t bite but they are all over you. You might even end up swallowing one! They are very annoying. You want to enjoy your time there – every minute is worth a lifetime! 

On our Celebrity Cruise, we went up to Latitude 66 30’ N to the Arctic! How cool is that! 

Life is beautiful and realizing a childhood dream is even better!

Cheers!
