G Adventures has partnered with ExpeditionTrips to co-sponsor career break guru Sherry Ott on her next travel adventure. Traveling alongside her will be Ott’s 76 year-old father as they embark on the trip of a lifetime to Antarctica – her 7th continent. The duo will board the 132-passenger ship http://www.gadventures.com/ms-expedition-cruises/" target="_blank">M/S Expedition on December 10, 2012, for a http://www.gadventures.com/trips/antarctica-classic-in-depth/XVAESX/2013/" target="_blank">13-day voyage that will depart from Ushuaia, Argentina and head south to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. Ott and her father will have opportunities to kayak, camp on the ice, and hike throughout the expedition.
As co-founder of career break movement Meet, Plan, Go and the creator of the popular travel blog Ottsworld, Sherry’s mission is to see the words “career break” listed on every resume. Ott quit her corporate IT job in 2006 and sold all of her possessions to travel around the world to 23 countries. Six years later, she continues to wander the world solo without a home.
G Adventures US Marketing Manager, Steve Lima, is thrilled to be able to work with ExpeditionTrips to put this together for Sherry and her father noting “her career break has allowed Ott to experience some of the world’s most awesome destinations and we hope having her on our ship and documenting her journey will inspire others to believe that they can do this too.”
Uniquely equipped to meet the demands of cruising in polar environments, the M/S Expedition provides an exceptionally safe, spacious, and comfortable experience for all passengers. While she is large enough to provide stability, speed and ample public space, the ship is small enough to be able to approach remote areas to which many other vessels cannot navigate.
