London - tomorrow we go!

September 01, 2013

They night before the flight out and I'm a sitting on my friend Tracy's sofa and wondering if I have forgotten anything.. Water purifier and Imodium, camera, dollars, camelbak and visa - all should be ok now! I read a book today by a travel journalist and I am just getting more intrigued and excited, Nepal seems to be a fantastic country! Hard to understand they had a war just a few years ago, people is poor but so generous. But I think you see that in all these poor countries though, the less people have the more generous. Quite fascinating.. Went through London today, I do love this place. So vibrant and people from all over. Swedes are nice, but fairly introverted people. I had a typical London-experience today at the Apple store. I was waiting for my turn to get served when a guy comes up saying "I have arrived!" Then he wanted to be friends on Facebook (?)! I kinda declined in a nice way but it was a bit random, as many of my meets are. But refreshing, I needed ...

Heathrow, I see you in half an hour!

So, time has come to go to the airport. I havent slept at all so Im expecting to sleep quite well on the plane. But we all have some proper getting-to-know each other to do. Watched some videos from precious climbers and I could feel the butterflies coming, soo excited! Did my last squats with the magic ring from Pierre as you could have seen on the pic I took but I cant upload it unfortunately, my last contribution to the preparations, from now on its reality all the way :) I might find a tree though to Use for this but Im not sure my legs would appreciate it.. Will be really cool to see the others, we all come from different places and most of us havent met before, so it will be an exciting setup and we have to form a good team. I am sure we will, we have all raised money for the same cause and know we will push ourselves a bit further than normal. So, good morning everyone, hope you have a magic day! Jenx

Next challenge!

January 24, 2013

So, here we go again! Soon I will feel the altitude cracking into me again, loss of breath, sickness.. and the burning in your muscles when you have pushed yourself a lot further than you would ever do. I just love it. Its something I just love about walking uphill, standing on the top of the world and realize what kind of a part me and you play in this game called life. It is quite faschinating. As I have this hate/love relationship to high mountains, I have signed up for the next challenge - Mount Everest Base Camp. 5300 meter, a little bit less than Kilimanjaro (thank God!). I have also agreed to be a team leader for the group, which makes this trip a lot more exciting - so now I am actually boiling over from excitement!! Wooohoo!! September is the month me and Team J (no official name yet) will head to Nepal to start our journey. As we are doing this trek for the fantastic and incredible charity Childreach International, we will start by paying a visit to their pr...
