Mt. Kilimanjaro - my 1st adventure

Reaching the highest point of African was one of my biggest accomplishments and proudest moments. At the summit of Kilimanjaro, I suffered serious altitude sickness. It was naïve of me to climb so high in such a short period of time. However, looking back, I have no regret for what I did because life is about adventure,taking risk and living on the edge.

"If you aren’t living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space. It has nothing to do with thrill seeking. It is about making the most of every moment, about stretching your own boundaries, about being willing to learn constantly and putting yourself in situations where learning is possible – sometimes even critical to your survival. Being out on the edge, with everything at risk, is where you learn – and grow – the most”
