TrekkingTrekking enables me to see distant places that I have seen on the cover of a magazine or read about in a book. What better way to spend the night out surrounded by mountains, and the crisp night sky above you. It is in the Himalayas where I find my calling.

Nima had earnestly asked me to put the pen on the summit of Mount Everest. It was a quite ordinary pen, but one of my daughters dearest things...I had climbed by mountain, but I must still live my life...It has been a long road...From a mountain coolie, a bearer of loads, to a wearer of a coat with rows of medals who is carried about in planes and worries about income tax."
