EXPEDITIONS

“The dream of standing on the roof of the world. I recall that dream: for me, it came true on May 30, 2005. At precisely 9:40 in the morning. The dream of a lifetime. A dream that lasted for more than an hour. Under a very pure blue sky, I contemplated the whole world. My lungs filled up with the purest of pure air at 8,848 metres. I felt like I was floating, like I could actually fly. Suddenly, the wind made me shiver just hard enough to realize it wasn’t a dream. I had both feet firmly on the ground, on the highest point anywhere on earth.”
