Kilimanjaro Millennial Style | The Mountain We Climbed
As a Baby Boomer Travel, Health & Wellness Blogger and avid reader, I’ve included a; book review segment to my blog. One of my reads I thoroughly enjoyed, is the featured author’s latest publication called …
🌺 Kilimanjaro Millennial Style: The Mountain We Climbed
I received a request in my email inbox recently from John Hunt Publishing, to see if I would be interested in reading and reviewing, this new book. I was delighted to have the opportunity to 📖 read and to offer a personal review, of this new publication.

Kilimanjaro Millennial Style | The Mountain We Climbed
What a wonderful read this was, following this group of students, as they related their; personal heartfelt experiences climbing … Mt. Kilimanjaro.
In September of 2023, my wife and I traveled to Tanzania for the first time. We were able to explore the surrounding region of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
It was absolutely amazing!
We captured the photo below as we were leaving the area and the clouds cleared just in time, making for a beautiful view of the summit. 🙂
A true test of personal courage and perseverance, comradery and what it means to work together, to achieve success!
With the assistance and guidance of experienced guides and porters, to rely on throughout the climb, this group of students overcame their; individual personal demons.
It was also a wonderful opportunity to hike along with their trusted porters and guides, getting to know these amazing people on a personal level as well. This is something that just can’t be taught in the classroom.
Truly, a once in a lifetime experience that will most certainly be ingrained in their memories, forever!
University Level Experiential Teaching Curriculum
22 of the university’s upper-level students who were enrolled in the; Core Capstone, set out on this Experiential Teaching Curriculum trek. Together with excerpts from their teachers and the students who participated in this hike, authored this publication.
These students shared their personal experience and feelings on this incredibly demanding adventure. At the same time, they hoped to provide some helpful tips for those others who may also with, take on this challenging climb.
“Millennial Style will quickly grasp the different ways young adults perceive their world, how their relationships are deepened, where they find adventure and what it means to have an authentic experience together.”
The book reminded me of a class I took long ago when I was in Grade 12. It was a high school credit course named; Career Exploration.
The course was focused on its given title, but also geared on allowing students, to have an actual … Experiential Course Experience, into career option opportunities. We were given an opportunity to spend time with businesses, organizations and or services, that we showed an interest in as a possible career option.
Even a few of my fellow students were offered employment after graduating from high school, within the field they had chosen and spent time with during the course.
What a wonderful course concept, allowing students to realize their own personal strengths, and/or weaknesses. To be given this lifetime opportunity and to be able to achieve and overcome any obstacles, they may face in years to come.
A great read for all ages!
