Hi [Name],

Thanks again for your interest in joining us.

Before we arrange our video chat, I’d like to ask you four short questions. There are no right or wrong answers. They simply help me get to know you a little better and determine whether this style of expedition is a good fit for you.

A few sentences for each is plenty.

Expedition Suitability Questions

1. Tell me about a trip you've taken where something didn't go according to plan. What happened, and how did you deal with it?

2. You wake during a heavy tropical rainstorm and discover that water has leaked into your cabin and part of your mattress is wet. The crew is busy navigating the ship and may not be able to deal with it immediately. How would you react?

3. How important is it to you to know the next day's schedule in advance? Would you be comfortable sometimes not knowing what we are doing that afternoon until lunchtime?

4. An afternoon activity you have been particularly looking forward to is cancelled at short notice because weather or sea conditions have changed. How would you feel about this?

Once I receive your answers, we can arrange our informal video chat.

Best wishes,

Geoffrey
