Croath Patrick, with our without shoes Climbing holy mountains is more than just hiking; it’s a practice for the soul and body.

Exploring the oldest desert on Earth From a list of thirty amazing Pre-Summit Adventures, I chose the Namib Desert trip. Although I felt that going on a safari would be an appropriate choice for my very first trip to Africa, I couldn’t pass up a chance to spend time in one of the most beautiful
