I Love To Travel Anywhere, Any Time

A few places on my bucket list are doing the K2 base camp hike. K2 is the second highest mountain in the world but it holds way more appeal to me than Everest. It is a more technical climb and there is just something about it that makes it more special to me.

I also would love to see New York City. I don't know why exactly but I just think it would be an awesome place to see. Such a concrete jungle. Plus everyone I have talked to who has been there says it is one place you have to see at least once in your lifetime.

Yes, I heard about K2 being more technical.
How much money can cost an expedition like this? I'm curious.
I'm not a mountain climber but I have curiosity for this world. They say that when you are in the Mountain, you are closer to yourself than ever and forget about all the problems.

Probably cost around $100,000 I think to climb. I have done glacier travel and some small peaks. I think you forget about all your problems because you are focusing on what you need to do at the moment. It is dangerous, especially K2, so you need to be focused on the present moment.

Wow! I couldn't afford it.
Is it true that when you come back your daily life after having a trip like that you see things in a different way? How does it feel?
Sorry for the questions but I find it very interesting.

@twistermind: I think you do. I haven't done any severe technical climbing, but was buried in an avalanche while back country skiing. And after that, yes I did look at things differently. Helped me to see what is truly important in life.
