Voyage to Antarctica
"You can take the Homeward Bounder out of Antarctica, but you can't take Antarctica
out of the Homeward Bounder"
In November 2023, I went on a three week voyage to Antartica with the visionary leadership initiative Homeward Bound for women with a STEMM background.
It was a truly transformative experience. I'm excited share my pictures, impressions, experiences and learnings with all of you.
Discover Antarctica
When I set foot in Antarctica, I wasn’t just exploring a distant continent—I was stepping into an environment that demanded humility, adaptability, and focus.
Antarctica is more than ice and penguins; it’s an invitation to reflect and to figure out who you want to be in this world.
Postcards & Greeting cards
Each card design reflects not only the beauty of Antarctica and its amazing wildlife but also the personal growth and inspiration I found there.
They’re more than just images—they’re reminders of resilience, teamwork, and the importance of staying true to yourself.
Are you ready for your next adventure?
I hope these postcards and greeting cards inspire you, whether as a gift, a keepsake, or a nudge to take on your own adventure—one that pushes your boundaries and helps you grow into the leader you are meant to be.
Transformation occurs outside your comfort zone
The cards are inspired by my three-week voyage to Antarctica, where I experienced the icy continent’s raw, untouched beauty up close while also participating in an intense and immersive leadership program. Each design captures unforgettable moments that inspired my growth, resilience, and a deeper connection to the natural world, and created to share the unique essence and strength of mighty Antarctica.
