I’ve been a silent viewer for a long time, but I just wanted to say your vulnerability through this video was so inspiring! Also the fact that you filmed this whole journey is incredible! One of my fav videos! What a HUGE accomplishment!
What blows my mind around climbing mountains is the people and infrastructure in place for tourists to do so. As Elena said, summit is was so difficult. Yet locals and porters do it frequently AND with heavy packs. Wild. They are literal super humans.
For real. When I hiked to Machu Picchu on the Inca Quarry Trail, we were all struggling, but our guides are like “yeah we do this three times a week” 😂
This is why you're my favorite TH-camr - every video is so authentic to yourself and your current chapter in life. I've always resonated with your content and the lessons you talk about. I cried for you when you summited and said you were overcome with the feeling of being enough. I hope you remember that you always were and always will be enough. You're such an inspiration, Elena. Thank you for sharing with us all
Elena you should be so so incredibly proud of yourself! I have been a fan of yours for many years and for me you are literally the definition of woman empowerment! Your journey of life that you share with us is so much more than a hike or your many adventures in life, I don’t know how to put it into words but I hope you never have to doubt yourself because you are more than just capable! Even tho I don’t know you personally, I just know that you are so so special, so please never forget that
I pretty much cried this entire video. 😭 I have been watching your channel for the last 2 years and seeing your journey is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your adventures.
You’re crazy brave and mature. I know every time I open one of your videos I’ll learn something new, something will inspire me to be a better version of myself, to not being afraid and live a life worth living. I have to conclude by saying this video was unbelievably beautiful.
This was BY FAR my favorite video of yours I’ve watched. To see the blend of different cultures, your personal growth and determination to pursue new adventures was inspiring to witness. Congratulations, Elena!!
ive been watching your videos for years and i just gotta say its a privilige to watch you constantly push yourself to new limits both physically and mentally. its no joke. this has inspired me so much. thank you elena.
It really feels sometimes like you should be a travel documentary creator. I think the way you film and your vulnerability make these videos your greatest although days in the life are fun. The feelings you express are so universal and I think some sort of focus on facing your fears as a series of challenges documented like this would be so inspiring! The part where you were crying made me so emotional as well- I always go walking around the beaches and cliffs in the UK (where I'm based) when I want some mental clarity but am planning to do more international hiking this summer for exactly those reasons.
I am SO GLAD you have the platform you do and I dound it all those years ago. Your content is increasingly better. I feel like I am seeing it in real life when I watch anything you post. The history and information you include is so helpful and amazing. It is so impressing how you can make short form content so impactful. Also, I genuinely can’t believe how naturally beautiful you are. I hope you know that!
...so beautifully done video, Elena... 💖 beside the physical challenge, also the mental and emotional journey comes across, and the camaraderie between everyone, and the warmth and care of the guides... it'll be a lasting memory of that you can achieve, what you have set yourself up for... so inspiring... absolute congrats to you!!!
Elena- this video is so amazing and HUMAN. I think we (as the collective we) see people going on treks like this and just think "wow they just be so fit to do that" because all we see are the summit pics. I am honored that you felt like you could share that journey and your vulnerabilities with us all.
Elena thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I can’t even imagine how much resilience it must have taken to push through the exhaustion and elevation to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and still manage to film and capture your journey so beautifully. Such an inspiring and emotional watch ❤️
Im literally watching you right now, and around minute 13, when you broke down, I completely felt you ❤ and where you were coming from. Im Kenyan and was born and raised partly in Tanzania, though in Europe now, and i honestly can't wait to conquer this mountain as that's a dream I have. HONGERA SANA ELENA! ❤❤❤
this deserve so much credit! I felt like I was watching a movie. In the 26 minutes that the video lasted I got goosebumps, cried, felt proud... you are such an inspiring woman elena, I have been following you for years, and this for sure my favourite video of yours!! so much respect xx
i have never seen or heard of you before but this was so incredibly inspiring and emotional, this video justrandomly popped up for me. Absolutely loved it.
The dreams are from Malaria Rx, I went to Tanzania in June 1996. To this day I remember the best dream ever I had on the African Continent. It felt like time travel & purely real life❤
Wow, Elena! Watching you tackle Kilimanjaro was beyond inspiring! 🏔 Seeing all the challenges, incredible views, and moments of pure grit gave me chills. Your dedication and positivity even in those tough moments are truly amazing. Thank you for sharing this journey-it’s the push I needed to keep aiming high (literally)! Can’t wait to see what adventure you take on next ✨
This is the best video I’ve ever watched. You made me cry, your words were so powerful and beautiful! Thank you for capturing it and now I want to climb Kilimanjaro!!!
Really love what you said about us limiting ourselves and being more capable than we realise 🙌 it must have been so hard editing down such an epic journey; thanks for sharing with us all! 🤍
Awesome to watch the journey to the top. In my current anemic state, I feel like climbing the stairs is sometimes too much! So it was nice to see what it would be like if I could. My goal this summer was hiking Mt. Rainier and through God's strength I was able to do it, when just previous to that I was dizzy just standing around. My goal was much smaller than yours, but when I returned and found out my iron levels were at a 2, I realized just what a miracle it was. I am hoping with time I will be able to hike more, as I love hiking and climbing but for now it was inspiring to watch you guys in your journey.
Incredible as always but this video is extra special. The thought behind it, the editing, thoroughness. It is truly remarkable. Thank you for sharing this with us in your unique voice
Thank you for sharing your experience. So powerful and moving. I’m climbing Kili next year and something about this video left me feeling less anxious but more even more respect for the mountain and climb. Thank you, so inspiring 🗻
elena this is so absolutely amazing - i felt those emotions with you and cried hearing about the struggle but also seeing you achieve this amazing feat!! you are so incredibly inspiring and encourage others to really push outside your boundaries. and as a women it's even more emotional to watch. you've always been one of those youtubers that really spark a want to travel everywhere and experience all that is out there so thank you
Again, well done. Great accomplishment. Many life lessons from the venture. Thanks for being vulnerable. We're all humans and go through stages, challenges, different emotions. Looks like you have a good support group. cheers.
I am soooo glad I clicked on this video when I did. You an an AMAZING source of encouragement, strength and vulnerability, Elena. Thank you🥰 And CONGRATULATIONS! 💗
This was so beautiful to watch. I couldn’t help but smile throughout the video. The energy and vibes were so uplifting. AND wow to the Kiliwarrior team and guides preparing and carrying all that! As a 38yo mum of two, who is living a completely different life to you on the other side of the world in Australia, you’re going to be ok, Elena. You should be proud of yourself ❤️
I love how you did this video! I did Kilimanjaro two years ago and it changed me. It truly helped me fall in love with hiking and traveling. Thank you for sharing your experience!
This video is everything! Thank you for taking us with you on this special experience and sharing your most vulnerable moments with us. Showing us in such a beautiful way what humans are capable of and how rewarding it can be to face your biggest fears is better than therapy! Personally, this video encourages me to stop living in fear and try to step out of my comfort zone more often. You can be so proud of yourself Elena! And so am I ♥!
This is incredible!! Congratulations! Thank you for taking us along and sharing the vulnerable side of things as well. You are so inspirational and I am so proud of you and your friends for completing this journey!!!!
You're so inspiring, Elena. Now that I've watched your video, I'll be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. A lot of us resonate with your words about the constant effort to prove ourselves. You should feel so proud of yourself, as I am. amazing video!
Thank you for showing how much there is to reach in life, not just in this video. You are such an inspiration, and I'm so grateful to be influenced by you
I came across this video, it’s my first time watching your channel and I’ve never subscribed to someone faster in my life. This is a beautiful video.. thank you so much for the vulnerability.
Elena you are amazing!!! My inspiration!! I am 33 feeling a littel bit lost in life and when I saw this video..I could cry, you give me so much inspiration and motivation!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!! Sending you so much love!
Elena, your videos keep getting better and better. So happy I started following you years ago so I have the chance to see this now. Thank you for sharing and for your time and effort!
So so incredibly proud of you Elena. Much love and respect ❤❤❤ Been your keen follower since the start, and you’re a beautiful inspiring soul. May God bless you!!
This is one your best videos ever , I was in awe from beginning until thel end, also thanks for always being vulnerable and sharing your authentic self. Truly a very inspiring video .☺️
Congrats to you and your friends for this. Love your videos (the storytelling, edition and everything) and I can also relate with the feelings and struggles you describe. "Not knowing where I' going or who Im going with" is such a real and anxiety inducing feeling, but as lost as we can feel, there is also something exciting about not knowing where our lifes will lead us. And yes , you are so capable and also worthy of having the best people there for you!
Thank you for gifting us with your story and journey of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. My mom climbed it many years ago and always talked about how incredible and life changing it was. Your video captures what my mom has shared with me. It was special to be able to watch. My mom used to say that it was her dream to go back to Africa and climb Kilimanjaro with her kids. She had a stroke 3 years ago so that’s no longer in the cards, but your video makes me want to go and make it to the roof of Africa 🤍 Thank you!!
This video really touched my heart ♥️ the calling for life, connection, something deeper - going through all the challenges and making it to the top! Something about Africa pulls me in, it's like humans original land. The people look wonderful and the way you all care for each other and eat together.. This is what life is about 💜 I really relate to this alot, thanks for the video xxx
wonderful, i lost my father this year and it took me on an adventure t hike the himalayas and i had the same feeling, like i could just do this amazing trek cause i have my fathers strength and the love for him, i didnt really train i just went. was such an experience and i want to do more, so thanks for reminding me to get back on the horse and not play it safe and stay stagnant on m sofa in my home in england, lifes an adventure for sure. youre awesome dude
This looks like an insane experience! I felt so emotional while watching this video thank you for being so open and vulnerable! Definitely something to add to the bucket list, wow!
YOYO Elena, sent a similar dm then realized I should’ve just commented on the video lol 💀 just wanted to say i got re-introduced to you though Brett’s coverage of the mission on insta and i just gotta say this has been one of the most awe stricken and inspired ive been from a video in a loooong time. You have an insane talent for not only storytelling but also just being a kick ass human being. Being able to juggle not only doing one of the gnarliest physical things one can do but also telling a great story, being educational, vulnerable, having great production value is just absolutely mind blowing. You really have something special here with this kind of production and I honestly feel like this could’ve been some kind of epic pilot episode to a Nat Geo series or something. Mega mega props 🤘🏻🤌🏻🤙🏻
These videos lately have really been hitting home. I’m also a fellow expat living abroad as an American in Amsterdam. Your Dolomites video inspired me to book a week-long hike there, and I just got back last month. It was incredible. 🥹This Kilimanjaro video is next level -I didn’t want it to end. You captured it beautifully, and now I’m feeling inspired again. Thanks for putting this kind of content out there! It’s definitely reaching the right people.
This truly sounds like an incredible experience! Taking on Kilimanjaro solo is so courageous, and hearing about your journey to the summit is truly inspiring 🙌 From the lush rainforests to the icy heights at the top, every step through the Tanzanian wilderness must have been unforgettable. Seeing both the physical and mental challenges you faced day by day really makes this story special 🌄✨ Massive kudos for sharing each stage of the journey, from small victories to tough struggles - it gives viewers a genuine insight into what it takes to conquer such a challenge! Thank you for all the great gear tips and the detailed day-by-day itinerary.. so helpful! 🥾🔥
My favourite video of yours Elena, and I love all your videos. What an achievement! Your mental strength is incredible! I hope you feel so unbelievably proud of yourself!!
WOW. In awe of you and the fellow hikers and the incredible team that made the whole experience happen. I felt like I was there with you! Congrats, Elena!
This is my fave of all videos from you for now, very interesting, engaging and your scenes are so clean and you look pretty crystal on all your videos, stay safe love! ❤
I am 52 years old and this is on my bucket list so I’m totally jealous of you hope you enjoy it and have a great time with your hiking prayers and blessings to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤❤
This is beautiful Elena! I do have to say though that I wish you had shared the trip down Kilimanjaro too ❤ i can only imagine it must have been a remarkable experience for the three of you. Please consider doing a part 2!!
I’ve been a silent viewer for a long time, but I just wanted to say your vulnerability through this video was so inspiring! Also the fact that you filmed this whole journey is incredible! One of my fav videos! What a HUGE accomplishment!
This! ❤

For real. When I hiked to Machu Picchu on the Inca Quarry Trail, we were all struggling, but our guides are like “yeah we do this three times a week” 😂
I completely agree!!!
The locals are acclimated to the area and have been doing it all their lives so they are used to it.
this is by far my most favorite video of you. thank you for inspiring sooo many women everywhere.
Goatis just relesed a video about you and your mental health.
Please watch it, it is very important.
Thank you for choosing us for your bucket list trip Elena! It was a pleasure having you join us.

She needs to invest in a mic first.
I absolutely love watching people pushing their limits and experiencing beautiful things! So inspiring! Thanks for sharing it ❤
This was one of your best videos ever - what an adventure
