When you think of travel, you typically think of packing your bags and hopping on a plane. Once you land, cars and sometimes trains are probably the most common ways of getting around.

On these Vantage Travel excursions, you’ll experience something far more exciting.

    I think you can add husky rides. In the Northern countries of Europe they are very common. I remember 5 years a go in Norway we took a ride across a frozen lake. It was an amazing experience.
