things i did on mt kilimanjaro: reach the summit, get altitude sickness and vomit on a VAST ARRAY of volcanic rocks, hike through the rainforest, remember that it’s ok to ask for help when you need it, girltalk with @samlansky in our little tent, experiment with my new camera (an olympus tg-6. photos in this post), watch the sunrise from 17,000 feet, and gain a newfound appreciation for oxygen. huge thanks to victor, tumaini, benson, & the incredible crew who led us there safely. summiting this mountain was one of the most challenging experiences of my life and a reminder that pain is temporary and discomfort is how we grow
