Kicking Off my 1st Post

2010 so far has been a whirl wind of challenges and adventures!! Just to give you a quick brief of what has happened in recent years. After a ton of work I summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in early 2009 AND I managed to raised awareness for Epilepsy S.A and recently I've become the representative for the Western Cape and the Face of the Epilepsy Youth Awareness Program. Since I got down from Kili my hunger to climb has grown MASSIVELY! So a friend(Josh)and I have been preparing to another high peak, Mt. Elbrus(Russia).

BACK TO 2010. The year for me started and I thought the climb was going to be all which was going to happen, little did I know:)

My love for the Environment has been going on for well a very long time, BUT its strengthened extraordinarily for the past 4/5 years since a few scary images of what is currently happening to mother earth :( then I found a certain website and I didn't know that it would literally change my life forever!!
The Mike Horn Pangaea Young Explorers Program(YEP) is a project which has been created to bring together and make more Environmental Ambassadors. I applied for one of the expeditions and I got into the 5th Pangaea Himalayan Expedition!!!!
