A Fine Adventure

Day 1 Mt Everest bc trek: Our adventure started with the scariest helicopter ride to get to the trailhead. We started in Kathmandu and flew to Surke. Our original plan was to take a van to Ramechhap and fly to Lukla but the insane weather halted flights for almost a week. While the ride was so scary due to the weather, we were so lucky to get to another part of the trail. While it added on almost 1/2 a day of hiking, we were so excited to get our boots on the ground. The trail was filled with lush greenery and was incredibly humid. We hiked into the night and arrived at our tea house where we had our first of many delicious meals and were greeted by the sweetest owner.

I won the lottery. Angels Landing in Zion National Park was incredible. I was on the first shuttle at 6am and the third person the reach the top. Having this iconic spot all to myself was so lucky. Felt so good pushing the body to climb up the steep switchbacks as fast as I could to get these views.

Hey from Luxor Egypt! Today we explored the Karnak and Luxor Temples. So amazing to see the sites dating back thousands of years. Very different from the Luxor in Vegas lol.

Absolute blast chartering a boat with the family down in the British Virgin Islands for Thanksgiving Week. Every day was full of heavenly mix of sailing, snorkeling and awesome food.

Country #20: Israel. We had a very memorable and inspiring couple days in Israel. After crossing the border from Jordan, we went to Jerusalem. Seeing many holy sites and the markets were all amazing. Then we travelled to Tel Aviv for an awesome day on the beach before we head home tonight!

Unbelievable day exploring one of the 7 Wonders of the World! Petra didn’t disappoint. The archaeological sites were amazing and the hiking was what I imagine Mars to be.

Sometimes you have to concede to the trail. Our day 1 was an absolute beast. We hiked basically two days worth in one, while carrying full packs when most have donkeys.

At the end of the day we were beyond exhausted. It was a struggle to cook dinner and filter water. We woke up the next day so soar and spent. After walking for a just a few minutes to start the next day it was obvious that we wouldn’t enjoy the best section of the trail in that condition. We swallowed our pride and took a rest day. And wow that made all the difference. We slept, played cards, and recovered our bodies after too strenuous of a day.

This sunset capped off a great day and lesson out on the trail. Never be too prideful to ignore what your body is telling you.

Best trail food ever, with the best view ever! What’s your go to snack after a huge climb to the top of a mountain? I love my reduced fat (important distinction) skippy PB.

After the Mirador de las Torres waited the steep ascent another 900 feet to the Siula Pass. Sitting at 4800 meters, or almost 16k feet, the views of the cordillera Huayhuash were amazing. So cool returning to this epic spot again.

Since backpacking around Peru for 2 months in 2019, I’ve dreamed of being back at this Mirador. I still can’t believe after just three years I got to return to my favorite place in the world.

The Huayhuash Circuit is a beast. Just about everyone hiking it does it with a guide and a herd of donkeys. And for good reason. The high altitude and gnarly terrain are not for beginners. and I did it on our own. Climbing mountains with full packs almost 17k feet high pushed the limit. But now when I need to return to this happy place in my mind, it’s a little easier.
