Svalbard - 20160611 - Toronto

The Honey Badger’s head to Svalbard

Back in 2009 Anne and I decided to visit Antarctica with our friends John McHugh and Becky Brown.  We booked a Lindblad cruise and headed south. Once we boarded the Explorer we quickly ran into Mark & Jenny Sadow who we knew via Crossroads School.

The six of us got along great so we decided to organize another trip for the six of us, this time to Africa. One of our planning dinners focused on what animals we really wanted to see…the black mamba and the Honey Badger.  Jenny even made us Black Mamba bags.

But the event that changed our lives in so many ways was when I discovered Randall’s Honey Badger video.

We realized that we identified with the Honey Badger and from that moment on began to refer to ourselves as “the Honey Badgers.” As Randall says “the Honey Badger doesn’t give a shit!” and that’s us.

2012 the HBs toured Africa. 2014 we toured Australia and New Zealand.

Now we’re sitting in the British Air lounge in Toronto waiting to head to Oslo via London.  We’ll spend a night in Oslo, fly north to Svalbard and board the Explorer for the second time.
