  • Despite the rough trip, I still consider it a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I’ll remember forever. I think the difficulty adds to the rewarding feeling when we finally reached basecamp. Additionally, Tibet is changing rapidly. As we traveled, you can tell that the Chinese government is fully invested in erecting infrastructure and with that is the influx of mainland Chinese into the area. There is a muted suppression of the Tibetan people as more of their culture gets diluted. 🚶‍♂️ In a few years, you can do this trip in luxury. But I’m glad I was able to do it this way... 🚶‍♂️ This is not Everest by the way 😀 that’s coming soon. Gotta build the suspense, right? - - - #tibetan #tibet #traveldiary #cultural #culture #mountaintop #mountainscape #prayerflags #travelstoke #traveldeeper 164 23
  • Here is another shot of Brian admiring the vast landscape and lake. Getting closer to Mt. Everest with this picture. This was the more enjoyable part of the trip as I was finally adjusting to the high altitude and we finally left the bug infested “hotel.” More on that later. 🚶‍♂️ My latest post is about the inevitable trade we all make everyday: our time for money. 🚶‍♂️ Have a great week everyone 😀 - - - #colorful #beautifulnature #tibet #tibetan #exploretocreate #livelifetothefullest #intothewild #bluelake #spendingtimetogether #lifewelltravelled #travelstoke #traveldiary #vast #landscape_captures 165 54

  • Remember the monastery on the hill in the last picture? Here I am hiking up to it. These are stones with prayer words written on them. The view is beautiful. 🚶‍♂️ The second picture shows my setup for the constant water we had to consume. It worked really well. I think my engineering degree came in handy. 🚶‍♂️ Have a wonderful weekend friends. Life is beautiful. - - - #tibet #traveldiary #lifewelltravelled #travelstoke #tibetan #skyporn #lifeisbeautiful #livelifetothefullest 121 23
  • The little hill you see in the background is a Buddhist monastery. Imagine being up at the top, looking over the valley and the lake and this sunset... 🚶‍♂️ The second photo is our camping group coming together for dinner. This is after we spent an hour helping set up tents. This was also the scene of chaos a few hours earlier. Lina and I were in here to get out of the wind when it started to come apart. There were metal spikes holding down the tent and we feared those things would stab us to death. We tried our best to keep the tent from flying into the lake and were exhausted after it was nailed down again. 🚶‍♂️ Speaking of near death experiences, read my latest post. I tell the tale of an accident that I miraculously walked away from unharmed. - - - #exploretocreate #campinglife #intothewild #tibet #traveldiary #sunset_pics #sunset_vision #colorfulsky #skyonfire #skyporn #travelmore #lifewelltravelled #neardeathexperience 172 41
  • Prayer flags are everywhere in #Tibet. You can’t really see them here but they are strung across the river. Such scenes of solitude can only be enhanced by mountain man Brian. 🚶‍♂️ My latest post talks about my plan for life after #earlyretirement. I wonder if it’s too hopeful but I truly think this is my ideal scenario. Let me know what you think... - - - #exploretocreate #landscape_captures #lifewelltravelled #tibetan #financialfreedom #travelers #traveldiary #livewild #bewild #solitude 178 36
