What I do when I'm not at work...
I love traveling, being in nature and visiting sacred sites and remote areas, way off the beaten track.
Over the years I have spent many months cycling and hiking through the Himalayas. I cycled through Tibet on the Freedom Highway from Lhasa to Kathmandu when it was little more than a dirt-track frequented by yak herders and nomads. I have cycled through India from Shimla to Leh including summitting the worlds’ highest motorable pass at 5,600 meters. In South America, I cycled the Inca trails in Peru, hiked to Machu Picchu and spent 3 weeks cycling across the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile. Having already cycled to the Everest base camp my last big trip was in Nepal, hiking for a month to reach both of the base camps of Kangchenjunga the worlds 3rd highest mountain.
Of everything that I have experienced – with the exception of being a mother – these journeys are the memories that stay with me most. I will never forget the amazing vistas, the sacred temples or the look in the eyes of the very old man in Lhasa, as he took my hand and led me into his temple. The aching muscles, the altitude sickness, the wet clothes, the frozen fingers, and staring up at the thick frost on the inside of my tent at 4am and not wanting to get up - all these things held immense gifts. Every experience led me to more fully realize how lucky we are, what a wonderful world we live in, and what is possible when we truly believe it to be so.
Looking forward to the next adventure.
