While on assignment on Mt. Everest, I shared my journey with thousands of students from the ePals global community in real-time. It was quite challenging to film a reality show, produce content and connect with students every step of the way. In the end we succeeded and stood on top of the world for the 2nd time, I even managed to dance on the summit at the request of the students.
