The travelers embark on a “breathtaking” journey from Kathmandu, through Lukla to Everest Base Camp in Nepal. This journey took 14 days (10 ascending, 4 descending), 8 weeks of planning and training, and reached an elevation of 18,484 ft (5,550 m). It was one of the nicest countries we have visited yet. Thanks to Deepak Lama and everyone at Wilderness Experience for an amazing and friendly trek!
An empty winter day takes our travelers out of their lonely habitat and into Bran, Romania. The sights of this wonderful, small village include Castel Bran (Dracula’s Castle), an amazing hilltop view, and strange haircuts. Bran is just a short 20 minute bus ride from Gara II in the amazing medieval city of Brasov, where our heroes were once knighted as members of the Order of the Transylvanian Knights. Thanks to Nicholae with The Company of Mysterious Journeys for his help in organizing our visit!
This hike was the perfect opportunity for RoK and Greg to make the first sketch video for this site. Located on the Nistru River in the Rezina region Ţipova, Moldova has both natural and historical attractions, with 5 waterfalls as well as canyon formations that reveal an ancient coral reef remains - and plenty of light climbing opportunities. It was a full day event (from the capital Chişinău) including the 3-hour round-trip transport and the 11km hike.
Along the trip we also visited an ancient rock monastery located on the Nistru river, and secluded pasture that’s considered an archaeological site since it has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years.

We do not encourage you to follow our particular road, but rather to find your own road less traveled. In any case your road will not be the same as ours, and just like we cannot ever travel this road again (for a second time would be much different) we do not wish to have followers. Rather we encourage you to choose your own challenges and your own path. We would prefer that every one has a personal road, and in that way they remain less traveled.
“A true leader produces more leaders, not more followers.”
