#1 in the Wanderlust World Guide Awards!!
Many thanks to Mark and the team at Mountain Madness in Seattle; to Kili, Sagar, Dawa and the team in Nepal; and to my clients who, in addition to saying some very gracious things about me, have allowed me to be a part of their lives in such a meaningful way. It’s really amazing to guide people through such a challenging, transformative, and enriching experience, and I am very grateful to be able to live in the world in this way!
I have been overwhelmed by the volume of responses, so please forgive me for not replying personally to your emails and posts, but I am awash in your love and support. Thanks for that!! Thanks also to those of you who were checking the Wanderlust website for an announcement during the ceremony – it was an unexpected joy to open my computer at 1 am and find so many congratulatory emails – really wonderful!!
