All of our experiences in the Galápagos Island’s were incredible except for one.

Witnessing the very common abandonment of Sea lion pups by their mother’s was hard to see & comprehend from these loving & social animals.

Sometimes the circle of life is so hard to accept!

Orphaned Sea lion pups would gladly take any milk and protection they can get, but decades of behavioral research has shown females viciously reject any unrelated pups who wander too closely.

There are many different reasons for abandonment.

The slide you see here was heart breaking.

The pup in the background had been abandoned by his mom & begged & cried for milk from the mother lying next to him.
The much older pup still nursing and his mother viciously attacked the smaller one. He will eventually starve to death.

The Sea lion colonies thrive in the Galápagos tho and fortunately for us they like people & love to interact!

We swam with them twice daily & even had one kiss my toes!

Day 8 and one hell of a 15 hr day!! Summit day!! As you can see my bad ass tent mate and I were super stoked to be awake and starting our hike at midnight, on what I would consider very little sleep.


This was the most exciting day, but also the most challenging. From what seemed like a fairly easy trek turned into one of the hardest treks I’ve done but also the most beautiful. Starting at midnight we began our first leg, 7hrs to the summit, walking a narrow step trail. Switch back, after switch back, after switch back. You would look up and see the outline of the peak that appeared to be fairly close in distance. However, the headlamps from other hikers far ahead of us told a different story as the lights looked like flashing stars far off into the distance. A complete mind game of how far we actually were from reaching the ridge and our first check point, Gilman’s point. Not to mention the physical toll our bodies were experiencing from the elevation, the cold, lack of nutrients, and hydration, bc some of water froze from the serious wind chill we had going on. But… totally worth every bit of discomfort and pain. Yes, I would totally do it again. The pictures honestly don’t do the experience justice.

Bc of our amazing team 8 of us made it to the first two points, Gillman’s point 18,652ft fallowed by Stella Point 18,885ft. From Stella 6 of us continued to the Roof of Africa, to see as far as the eyes can see. Uhuru Peak 19,342ft!!

All this made possible by the amazing people including .yoga
And our Tanzania team huge thanks to the guides and porters. The experience wouldn’t of been as good without the amazing locals we had with us on our journey.

The beautiful Maasai Tribe of East Africa! ♥️ 🇹🇿

We fell in love with the beautiful nomadic people on our last trip to Tanzania in July & most recently this past December!

Their way of life is held deep in extraordinary culture.

We visit them while on Safari just on the outskirts of the Ngorongoro Crater after our 9 day trek on Mt Kilimanjaro.

Some of the unique traditions of the Maasai includes a diet consisting of six basic foods: meat, blood, milk, fat, honey, and tree bark. They drink both fresh and curdled milk. The fresh milk is drunk from calabash and sometimes it's mixed with fresh cattle blood. The blood is obtained by nicking the jugular vein. Mixed blood and milk is mostly used as a ritual drink and as nourishment for the sick. Bulls, oxen and lambs are slaughtered for meat on special occasions and for ceremonies. The by-products of the animals – skin and hides are used as bedding while cow dung is used for building (it is smeared on the walls). The Maasai’s entire way of life truly revolves around their cattle. More recently, the Maasai people have supplemeted their diet with farm crops such as maize meal, rice, cabbage among other food crops.

The Maasai are joyous, warm, independent, welcoming, proud, beautiful, entrepreneurial people!

They sing, dance, work & celebrate with deep passion!

You leave part of your heart with the little children!!!

♥️♥️♥️🇹🇿
