Everest 2010: Mountain of Learning
I am an adventurer, outdoor educator, and author from St. John’s, Newfoundland. After summitting Mount McKinley in 2005, I set a goal of climbing the seven summits, the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. Throughout this journey, I’ve aimed to inspire others to have big dreams and big goals by sharing my adventures online and through motivational speaking.
Nurturing big dreams and climbing big mountains requires leaps of faith, heaps of humor, dashes of discipline, lots of luck, tons of teamwork, and the ability to ride large waves of emotion. Accepting the invitation to dream is the first step followed by intensive planning, training, and outreach. I utilize this model repeatedly when nurturing my own dreams and the dreams of others.
In the spring of 2010, I am returning to Nepal to climb Mount Everest. I am climbing Everest in honour of my grandmother and in recognition of her life-long love of learning and my role as an educator, I have named the climb, “Mountain of Learning.”
I invite you to explore my website and follow along on my many adventures, both big and small. Each week, I write an update where I share the life lessons that being on this "mountainous" path has taught me. Click the icon below to get a dose of inspiration today.
