“My time traveling across this beautiful and mysterious new place was filled with adventure, friendship, hardship, and learning. Not only did I forge relationships with individuals that will last a lifetime, but I also learned more about the country of Nepal, the story of its people, and the reality of its struggles than any number of books, articles, or videos could have every taught. It is now my responsibility to take this knowledge and use it as a resource to cultivate a better and more prosperous future. Whether through a socially responsible logistics and mountaineering organization, my own personal volunteerism, or simply by sharing my experience with others, this message is now a part of me and it is my duty to keep it alive.”
