Mid-dinner with G and the gang at the airport, I got the notification. ‘Your flight has been cancelled.’ Instant panic. I had no idea what to do. Like the trek, I was in new territory, and I had a hard time finding my place. Also, our hero G was with us and really put in…

The Flight Fiasco
Sadly, we left the beautiful mountains of Mussoorie for an 8-hour bus ride to New Delhi. We stayed the night in Delhi, getting food at a Southern Indian restaurant, and then, heading for another 4-hour bus ride to Agra. We have had the amazing opportunity to be within a hotel with a pool! So, we…
Back Into the Real World
It has been two days since I departed from the Delhi Airport. While I am currently traveling in Europe, I have had plenty of travel time to reflect on my experience in the Himalayas and myself. Before I get into that, I will recap the last few days of our program! After some rewarding downtime…
putting our leadership skills to the test
Hey guys, I hope all is well. Although the original prompt for today’s blog is already set, I am going too also take a detour as I feel it is really necessary too for my reflection and self-growth. Today I am still writing to you from Delhi India. Last night an hour and a half…

Picture this: a bunch of us adventurers cleaning our gear, taking a breather, and then embarking on a culinary journey. Our destination? Tanya’s restaurant, Domas. Tanya, who we met during our WAFA training (she was getting recertified), invited us…
Out on the Town
Hello everyone! Since the trek, we have had a few days of rest to ourselves, and we have spent them well. Yesterday, a few of us went to a Tibetan restaurant that was scrumptious. The meals that I ate rank in the top 10 meals I have ever had. Not only was the food great,…
a little while later…
Hey there again. As the days go on more becomes clear. To be honest the place I am in right now is quite confusing and frustrating state of mind; there is so much to process, and I feel little guidance from the people who I expected it from. However, I will try to focus on…
An introspective post-trek clarity
After some time to reflect on my personal trekking experience in the Himalayas, it’s still hard for me to fully articulate how I feel. Many of the key lessons I learned relate to the initial goals I had entering this program. Over the past year, I have made a lot of personal discoveries and dealt…
