I am honoured to be joined on today's episode with my great friend Barnabas, who lead me to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa, with his team of Porters. The Mount Kilimanjaro porters are a dedicated team of men and women whose job it is to help tourists carry their gear while hiking Kilimanjaro. Most of the porters are local men between the ages of 18 and 40. They are hired alongside a team of trained professionals.he porter’s main job is to carry all the equipment required for the whole team. This includes not only personal equipment for each guest, but also tents, sleeping bags, food, oxygen bottles, medical kits, stretchers, hyperbaric chambers, toilets, and any garbage that’s generated along the way.

Once they reach camp, it’s time to set up. This includes putting up the portable toilet, your tents, and sometimes also the sleeping bags and inflatable pads.

The porters are also responsible for sanitizing all the water that’s used for cooking, cleaning, and drinking. They also help the cook prepare and serve the food, and clean the dishes afterward.

As you get higher and higher up the mountain, the porters will cheer you on and just generally have your back – giving you positive encouragement along the way. Altitude takes a crazy toll on our bodies, and you may find yourself relying on one or more of the porters to do everything you’re not able to do – from tying a shoelace to quickly repairing a boot. Essentially, the porters make it possible for you to climb Kilimanjaro.

Which would you rather? Looking back on your life and feeling relieved you didn't follow your dreams for the fear of what others would have thought or feeling the fear and doing it anyway?

Throughout the years, I have found this a very difficult task. Letting go
of people, memories, a happy moment in time, places, hurt, love...whatever it was. 

I hope this podcast episode brings you peace

Why referring to your partner as your 'other half' can be your pitfall. This episode is all about learning from heartbreak and establishing a healthy relationship where you are still completely your own self and you have your own life .
