Everest

Adventures of a mother of 7 – Johanna Gustafsson

Because it's there!

When 8 years old I learned about Mount Everest, and ever since I have dreamed about climbing up there. When I became middle-aged and sensible I thought that it's impossible.

2012 when I turned 50 I suddenly got this crazy idea to fulfill my childhood dream. Now, almost 2 years later, after studying, training, researching & finding solutions, it seems possible!

If things go well I will summit in May 2014, if things don't go well I will hopefully do it another year. If you want to follow me vie e-mail updates you can subscribe to them.

In Argentina

January 06, 2014 / Johanna Gustafsson

The flight from Amsterdam was long, 14 hours I think!

I'm here with Aventuras Patagonicas, a local company with international services. I spent one night in Buenos Aires and another in Mendoza. Now we're off to to the mountains! First to Los Penitentes.

One thing confirmed about Argentina, great steaks! And giant-sized. As a snack, I have also had a quadruple-steak hamburger, the largest in Mendoza :-)
