Ted’s TED talk

[abovethehimalaya]

An incredible experience with incredible guests! Our EBC Trek was successful with this mindblowing experience climbing from Khumbu Glacier to Gorakshep, then finally to Everest Base Camp. We were rewarded with breathtaking views of the majestic Mount Everest once we topped Everest Base Camp. Our team is delighted to provide assistance for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Contact us for your adventurous experience. https://abovethehimalaya.com/ebc-trek.html #EBCtrek #MtEverest #TrekkinginNepal #Nepal #ebctrek #everesting #everestbasecamptrek #ebcbrakes #kalapathar #everestsummit #climbinginspiration #mountaineers #trekker #hike #tramp #tourism #traveler #wonderland #beautiful #naturalcolour #snow #himalayandiaries #geography #kalapatthar #khumbuicefall #amazingplaces #bloggerstyle #solotrip https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGFJbGv58_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I don't think people realize how RECENT some medical care is. The migraine preventative my husband is on was JUST released. The heart medicine that works best for me? When I got diagnosed, I was told "there's this medicine we think would work for you but it's off label use and insurance would never cover and it's $1800 a month without coverage" and then a few years later I was on that medicine.

My ventilator that's portable and lightweight. The one thats the size of a lunch box and 11 pounds? That's pretty recent, even now there's a lot of changes happening to the technology. I found out I'm being switched to a new model with twice the battery life. That means I'm no longer limited to 12 hours of mobility a day without having to be plugged in. (And I'm lucky for 12, I qualified for an extra battery. If I didn't it would be 8)

We live in unprecedented times to be disabled. And just because technology EXISTED before that doesn't mean it was good or available for people to actually use.

UNION PATTERN EVEREST [G][K] TYPE.

Deployed in limited numbers, these upgraded veteran units were pivotal in the Cressidium Conflict. Special version of art I did for the upcoming Lancer RPG supplement, Operation Winter Scar by Kai Tave.

I've decided to go full 90s anime poster maximalist with this one. Was inspired by the kind of illustration and layout you might see in the strategy guide or loading screen of a PS1 era mecha game.

In Jake Norton's words...

Among domestic clearer political skies (yes, thank God, it's improving greatly!), it is with much interest that I read Jake Norton's first blog entry about the Everest trek with S and team. You can find it here: https://jakenorton.com/reflections-on-hunku/

Here are the excerpts I found most telling, but I do encourage you to read it all. It is genuine, it is honest and it is real. This guy does not need to sugarcoat anything, indeed - not that mountaineers were this particular type, either.

'An adventurous soul with a heart of gold', who 'rose to it all, never flustered or bothered, always interested and engaged and inquisitive.' Remember (ROFLMAO), this is not Tash, the Twitter Sparkle Lounge madame, speaking from her fangirling mirador at a random OL con. This is what a man with a 30 years experience of high-altitude trekking has to say about his unlikely, but enthusiastic travel companion. And to make the unintended (but honest) Slap-an-Idiot operation even more resounding, he then proceeds to explain why this is not even remotely an indulgent judgement of the character. He could not be clearer about it:

'And, to be honest, my little coffeeshop meeting was both to suss out his interest and let him meet me (and judge me) in person, but also, more importantly, to feel him out. Guiding for me is not simply an economic thing, transactional, but about time and people and experience. I’ve done too many “off-the-shelf” trips in the past to have zero tolerance for sharing the mountains with people whose goals and values are misaligned with mine. It took but minutes with Sam to know our worlds, while vastly different, were built upon similar ideas and ideals and approaches.'

He guided S the only possible way one must travel through Asia: with an open mind and an even more open heart. They deliberately ran away from five-stars accommodation (this blogger always combines the humble and the glam, with a noted preference for the genuine 'humble') and graciously responded to the local people's enthusiasm - something that will always be the most beautiful surprise to any traveler who successfully unlearned how to behave like a tourist:

'Unfortunately for Sam, I don’t really believe in the sugar-coated version of Nepal; fancy hotels and windowed views of life are little more than television with smell. I want people to see the real Nepal, wander the back streets, immerse in the smoky incense of dawn on cobbled streets, bells chiming and dogs barking, ambling through the visceral reality that is Pashupatinath, taking in the respite of Bodhanath, embracing the comforting chaos of alleys and backways of Lalitpur.'

Reading this made me both feel nostalgic and itchy. For even if you might find me enjoying high tea, in the Bangkok Mandarin Oriental's Author Lounge, my heart will always, always fondly remember the magical nights in a humble Hmong thatched hut at Ban Somsavath, somewhere midway from Vientiane to Luang Prabang. But that is personal and I wouldn't dare mix it up with someone else's experience, so I won't insist. What I can tell you, though, is that I absolutely believe S is honest when he says he will be back: for it is not the traveler that chooses Asia - it is Asia that carefully, deliberately chooses the traveler.

These sounds are mine. They will always resound loudly in my soul, for too many reasons to list here in tearing haste. Why did I add them, though? Because once your plane crosses the Everest, the magic begins in earnest:
