My Travel Story

So, where do I start here? I honestly never heard of this page until about an hour ago. I come across it by pure chance while trying to figure out how to fund the rest of my trip. I am close but yet so far away. The plan is to go to Nepal this May. The reason...attempt to climb Mt. Everest. A lot of you probably think climbing Mt. Everest is just dangerous. You would be 100% in saying that. However having the right training/experience, the right guides, and Sherpa make a huge difference. You see, this is something that I have wanted for as long as I can remember. I have been drawn to Everest for a very long time. 75% of the trip has been covered. Most of the equipment and permits have been taken care of. There is still a few expenditures that I haven't taken care of yet. A few things that slipped my mind due to focusing on everything else. This isn't a trip that gets thrown together at the last minute. Planning for this began almost two years ago. The amount of training that goes into this is unbelievable into itself. My dream has almost been realized. However I am short right around $9700 dollars. Might as well call it 10k. This is a small amount compared to the money that has already been spent. Right around 60K at the moment. I have made, borrowed, and squeezed every penny that I could up to this point. Being so close yet so far away is almost enough to make you crazy. I have no other options here. I have shook every bush that I could. I'm supposed to be leaving here towards the middle to end of April. Even that is pushing it. You need the time to acclimatize before you even think about making a push for the summit. I'm at the point of no return here. The money that I have already invested is nonrefundable. If I don't make it this time, it I might not get this opportunity again. So, me being here shows how desperate I really am. Without some kind of support, I might loose this chance. If there's anyone that has the power to help me I will be forever in your debt.
