Saskia Travert
This Expedition Coordinator and all-rounder can do anything - drive Zodiacs, take a polar plunge - lead helicopter operations. And she speaks four languages - French, English, Dutch and German.
What skills do you bring to the job?
"I have a thorough knowledge of the ship and crew. I communicate will with our guests. I'm flexible and can multi-task."
What keeps you returning season after season?
"Working outdoors in pristine areas, while sharing it with our guests who are there for the same reason."
If you could time travel, which historic expedition would you join, and why?
"Shackleton's expedition in the Weddell Sea. Being among those men who were able to survive without their ship and sail to South Georgia in a tiny wooden boat would be amazing! Especially because they did it without the instruments that are available to modern explorers. Incredible."
Saskia's advice to Polar Travelers
"Expect the unexpected."
