When I travelled to Africa in August 2024, I had the intention of climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world. It was never about proving anything to myself, nor was it about using the cliché of being up for the challenge. Mountains are simply the gift that keeps giving.

Quite unexpectedly, it turned out to be one of my greatest personal experiences. I call it The Kili Effect.

The realisation that she wasn’t something to conquer, like slaying a beast, but rather to move with her quiet strength and ever-changing beauty. To feel her silence and monumental power, the extremes of which I had never experienced before, and to be in awe that I did. Her gentle commanding of a gradual, deep respect. This adventure was purely humbling.To join the extraordinary team of women I travelled, trekked, lived and laughed with, I found myself in the company of exceptionally kind and caring people. And to be led by Katrina of the magnificent Women Embrace Adventure was something for which I will be eternally grateful.Kat brings that special something to the experience in mind, body and spirit. That, I call The Kat Effect. I  would strongly encourage anyone to take a giant step, prepare well, and be a part of this outstanding adventure, as it is one gift that is sure to keep giving.
