The “Why” behind trekking and adventure.
I just read a blog called The Lost Globe, and the author Daniel is based in Australia. He explains in a very simple yet powerful way, that really answers to the hearts of many trekkers out there. Why? Why risk your life and take time to experience things that you don’t need to experience?
Why not? It’s the biggest adventure you could possibly take. It’s one of the most meaningful things you could possibly do in life. You should become a better person for it. Because to many people waste their lives working their butts off so they can sit in front of the biggest TV they can possibly afford. Because your life has no value unless you give it some. Because the planet is in a rapid state of change, culturally and enviromentally, things I want to see today may not be there to be seen in 20 years time
Wonderful stuff Daniel!

Thanks mate, I’ll be expanding my links page soon and I’ll be sure to add you, looks like an interesting site. On the Kilimanjaro post, I don’t think it will even last to the next century, I think we will see no snow years well before then. I think you’ll be fine for your climb though although as far as the snow cap goes now it’s a shadow of it’s former self.
Good Luck
