Since the beginning of time, women have traversed the globe looking for adventure, new experiences, and ways to test their resilience, defying patriarchal norms in the process.
These fearless characters, who often shun stereotypes in favour of alternative ways of living are truly inspirational, and while historically only the very wealthy were privileged enough to break free, recent years have seen the emergence of trailblazing adventurers from all walks of life partaking in extreme journeys and expeditions. One only has to look to Nepal’s Lhakpa Sherpa, who summited Mount Everest at the age of 49 for the tenth time. From humble beginnings, her dedication and pure love for hiking the Himalayan mountain range stands out as one of the most remarkable stories of late.
