NEPAL EVEREST

Starting at the old Everest Basecamp Gorakshep (5164m) this race wound its way down the mountain before finishing in Lukla (2860m). With my head throbbing from the altitude, and being hit by an […]

Unknowingly, I was introduced to mindfulness practises as a teenager while playing representative football (soccer) in Australia. I not […]
