This episode is an interview with my student Jirka whom you might know from episodes 45 ad 46. He kindly agreed to let me interview him about his hiking expedition to the Himalayas.

It is in fact a two-part series as we recorded two interviews - one before him going to to the Himalayas and one when he comes back. In this first podcast we talk about his expectations, feelings, and the aim of the of the whole expedition.

Who is going up the mountain with Jirka? What are some risks of such trip? What weather does he expect? What stuff does Jirka pack in his backpack? Are there any cannibals in Nepal? If you are curious to know the answers, you'd better listen to this information-rich episode.
