Getting There...(~3 nights)

• Night 1: We sail the mountain-fringed Beagle Channel for the remainder of the evening.
• Day 2-3: Crossing the Drake Passage. Along the way we'll enjoy fascinating lectures by experts in marine biology, mountaineering, Antarctic research, & more.
• Wildlife Along the Way: Wandering albatrosses, grey-headed albatrosses, black-browed albatrosses, light-mantled sooty albatrosses, cape pigeons, southern fulmars, Wilson’s storm petrels, blue petrels, and Antarctic petrels are a few of the birds we might see.

Exploring Antarctica...(~5-6 nights)
"Antarctica’s surreal remoteness, extreme cold, enormous ice shelves and mountain ranges, and myriad exotic life forms invariably challenge you to embrace life fully...Antarctica is home to some of the world’s most extraordinary species. Some, such as the enormous whales, migrate from afar, while others, including the Weddell seal and emperor penguin, remain close to the continent. Antarctica possesses an unnamed quality. Call it inspiration, call it grandeur…it is simply the indescribable feeling of being a small speck in a vast, harshly beautiful land. To let our minds soar in a place nearly free of humankind’s imprint: this is magic." -Lonely Planet

Neumayer Channel: Great for multiple basecamp activities from the protected waters around Wiencke Island. We can enjoy the splendors of this alpine environment at sea with Zodiac and kayaking trips, possible snowshoe hikes, and soft-climb mountaineering options farther inland.

Pléneau & Petermann Islands: Sail through the stunning and world famous Lemaire Channel in search of Adélie penguins and blue-eyed shags. Also a good chance we'll encounter humpback, minke whales, & leopard seals here! Kayaking, glacier walks, and more ambitious mountaineering trips are the potential activities of this location.

Neko Harbor: An epic landscape of mammoth glaciers and endless wind-carved snow, Neko Harbor offers opportunities for a Zodiac cruise and landing that afford the closest views of the surrounding alpine peaks.

Paradise Bay: We have the chance to make camp here like a true polar explorer enjoying a supreme overnight Antarctic adventure!

THE VETTED SOCIAL for 30s/40s, where every man comes highly recommended!

Wed, Apr 15 · 7:00 PM PDT

Location not specified yet

We’re flipping the script. Welcome to The Vetted Social, an exclusive mixer for 30s/40s where the guest list is curated by the people who know best: us.

DISCOUNT TICKETS: $45/Early Birds/ $55/Door, if space permits. We have limited space. These events often sell out early, so we advise purchasing a ticket online as soon as possible. RSVP does NOT guarantee you a spot, only if you prepay by credit card.

How It Works
The concept is simple but effective: No man enters alone. To attend, every woman must bring one (and only one) single man as her "+1." This isn’t just any guy—he’s someone you can personally vouch for. He’s the "great guy" in your friend group, the hidden gem colleague, or the ex who is actually a wonderful human but just wasn’t your human.

DATE: April 15

TIME: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

PLACE: DACHA, 1085 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The Ground Rules

• The Entry Fee: Your ticket is your +1. Women cannot enter without their vetted male counterpart, and men cannot enter without their female sponsor.
• The Quality Control: Ladies, by bringing him, you’re putting your "Stamp of Approval" on his character. You’re telling the room, "He’s a good one."
• The Intent: This is a high-trust environment designed to bypass the "stranger danger" of the apps. We’re crowdsourcing the vetting process so you can focus on the chemistry.
