I'm on top of the world! (or at least on top of the highest freestanding mountain in the world)

Travels in Africa

Mount Kilimanjaro

In 2015 I went to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, which at 19,341 ft (5,895m) is the "Roof of Africa" and the highest the highest freestanding mountain in the world!

It was even featured on the Texas A&M alumni Facebook account: Bret McGowen and Carla Beutlich on Mt. Kilimanjaro.
