SHE SPEAKS
We travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us. Raka Mitra is the alumna of University of New South Wales (UNSW); loves travelling solo. She shares her memories from the adventure trip to “Everest Base Camp 2015”; and how she escaped the massive Earthquake on 25th April 2015, which shook the entire nation. “Over the three days after the earthquake, I experienced 18 tremors. I also experienced the best and worst of the human spirit. I am blessed to be alive and that despite everything I can still dream of the wonder, that is Nepal,” says Raka. So what is it you plan to do with your own wild and precious life?
