Everest Base Camp
and the world's most dangerous flight
The journey to Everest Base Camp is one I will surely never forget. For 17 days, I walked through the world in complete awe of what surrounded me – the insanity of the city balanced by peaks, spiritual monuments, nature and humanity.
Not only did we explore Kathmandu and the amazing culture to be consumed there, but we escaped to the wilderness and paused in villages along the way for unforgettable experiences in lodges, monasteries, cafes, bathrooms and more. When all was done, we left Nepal with incredible friendships, unbelievable stories and a perspective that will last a lifetime.
To retell these tales is an incredible gift. I couldn't be more grateful to have lived these moments – and I'm absolutely astonished by the opportunity to share them with you.
Jam jam.
