I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro with friends after we graduated slightly under a decade ago. It’s a bit of a killer mountain to climb, and we trained for 5 months before starting the climb. Your thighs will burn and your feet will hurt, but it’s absolutely worth it once you reach the top. It’s an intermediate climb. Stay safe. When we climbed, it was -3 °C (27F) at the base, but 97% humidity. You can’t feel your hands, but once you start climbing, the sweat starts pouring out of you and you have to keep on top of hydration. The altitude starts hitting about halfway up and there is only 50% of oxygen at the peak as at sea level, so the air is very thin.
be sure and at least try to make bullet-point journal entries each day. capture the 'little' vignettes along the way - folks you meet and see, human interactions you witness, bits of history not recorded in our text books, etc. you two for sure have one more wonderful adventure when you get home. write a book!!!
Wow! You two jumped in with both feet running (ok, hiking) into this new life! I'm so excited for you. You are living what many could only dream of doing. You've got this! I'm just one of MANY cheerleaders for you. Be safe and have a blast!! ❤️❤️
Dan some advice to be able to sleep on a plane. Rather than an exit seat try and book middle row seats in front of the bathrooms. You can push your seat as far back as a recliner around 100-130 degree angle. No one behind you and able to sleep. Only negative is no window view.
You made the biggest decision, to go on this epic trip. It will be awesome I know, and you will lack words to describe it. Can’t wait for the blogs. And all your epic experiences. Wishing you the best and many, many memories and pictures!!
OMG I just seen Brandon about your good bye to the airport it was awesome loved seeing alot of the moments you have had together on RUclips you need to watch it have your tissues ready 💙
This is so exciting.....I’ve butterflies 🦋 in my tummy can’t wait to see all the footage of your awesome adventures Kilimanjaro is such an epic place to start.....
I just stumbled across your youtube page and immediately went and binge-watched your 10 most recent videos- I climbed Kilimanjaro my junior year of high school in 2012 and it was the experience of a lifetime! It has been so cool to watch your videos and relive that incredible adventure through your eyes, I am so excited for you and your travels and can't wait to see where you guys go next you are living the dream! Congrats!
Not done kilamanjaro but make sure you do a safari while in Tanzania, I went on a couple over 15 years ago and it is still up there with the best experiences I’ve ever had
WOW Can not wait to see the video's of you climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. What an adventure. I have never climbed a mountain but my big adventure was in 2019, I drove BY MYSELF. from Orlando, Fl to ALASKA. I stayed in a tent. When I was in Denali Nat. Park I woke up and it was 30 degrees. Needless to say i spent slept in my car. Have a great time. s
How exciting! I enjoyed sharing travel adventures with Kira and Nate as they accomplished their 100 country goal. Their videos are amazing with great editing. Your videos have the same vibe! I’m excited to share your travel journey! ✈️
Wish you all good luck and their will be many different terrains to venture over. good news is that you will get to take beautiful pictures and develop stronger calf muscles. A lot of the scenery will be amazing, have fun!
When you guys jump in with both feet......you really leap!! It's going to be so awesome and amazing, and brand new. I think you're going to love this!!
Tanzania is literally one of my favourite places on earth!! I love Arusha too, you're so lucky! If you get the chance to go to Mwanza/Ukerewe on Lake Victoria, even though it's tiny and super off the beaten track, you should definitely try it out, it's such a gorgeous, rugged place. Good luck on your hike!! You guys will smash it!!
My friends are in Tanzania right now until June 10th and are exploring the Ngorogoro Crater. They have been many times and LOVE it! Have a great time, be safe, and take it all in all the experiences.

Holy moly. What a way to start your journey. My father wrote a book about a local family that climbed Kilimanjaro. Can't wait for pictures. Be careful. 👍😁
I haven't climbed Mt Kilimanjaro but I have climbed a few 14ers in Colorado... It's tough work but when you reach the summit it's all worth it! You guys will do great! Just pace yourselves, don't race to the top.
What a fun start!! Didn't think of it before you went but you should bring a mascot (such as flat Stanley) take pictures of it along the way to send to the nieces and nephews so they can follow along on your adventures!!
So excited for you. What an adventure you’ve embarked on - and what an amazing start to it all. Good luck and although I’m sure their will be those difficult moments. Your memories will last a lifetime well after the blister heal. Good luck
