Inca Trail

That moment you reach the summit is unmatched.

But climbing the Inca Trail for 4 long days, through high altitude sickness, blistered feet & swollen toes, bushes for toilets, wet wipe showers, and freezing cold ‘sleeps’- I realised for the first time that the beautiful moments lie in the journey too!

In the little things, like a pitch black night sky where you can see the full Milky Way, waking up to sunrise, the sounds of nature, the smile on the porter’s face when I greet them as wayqui, and perhaps most importantly, it’s the wholesome interactions with people from across the world that you meet along the way.

After learning to truly live in the present and value the simple pleasures and to then reach MACHU PICCHU!?

I’ll remember that moment for life.

My best memory yet.
