Kilimanjaro isn’t a technical climb, but it’s still a serious endurance challenge. The altitude, the long days of trekking, and the mental game of pushing forward when your body wants to stop—this is what excites me. I want to test my limits, step outside my comfort zone, and prove to myself that I’m strong enough, both physically and mentally, to take this on.

Traveling has always been a way for me to learn and grow, and this trip is no different. Kilimanjaro isn’t just a mountain—it’s part of Tanzania’s rich culture and history. From the local guides and porters who make these climbs possible to the Swahili and Chagga traditions, I want to immerse myself in the experience and connect with the people who call this place home.

Life moves fast. Between work, responsibilities, and the constant noise of daily life, it’s easy to get caught up in the routine. This climb is an opportunity to unplug—no emails, no notifications, just me, the trail, and the mountain. It’s a rare chance to slow down, reflect, and find clarity in the simplicity of putting one foot in front of the other. No matter what happens on summit day, I know this journey will change me.
