I’m not a sportive person. I was usually picked last in Gym class and I have always been very self aware of it. My friend Brayden decided to celebrate his 30s by achieving his long dream of hiking the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea. He asked me to join. I didn’t wait two seconds to say yes. After a long way to Papua New Guinea (from San Francisco) I completed the challenge: 97kms, 7 days, Total Elevation Gain: 5,986 and 6,297 loss. Total number of showers during the hike 3. Blisters 2. Crossing around 20 rivers a day, no showers and torrential rain on 3 days of the hike. On the 5th day I asked myself so many times why I was doing this. I thought I was not that strong, but the 7th day demonstrated to me that the only challenge we can't conquer is the one we put in our heads. Japanese, Australians and Papua New Guineans did this hike to defend their country showcasing: courage, endurance, mateship and sacrifice. This story is a reminder about my strength, my stubbornness and to say “yes” to new things that will define us and will challenge our status quo.
