Description
Anne Dorthe gets up multiple times during the night with a worrying health concern.  During Jason and Anne Dorthe’s first 24 hours on the trail, they must face a difficult decision about Anne Dorthe’s illness.  Should they keep going and risk it getting worse in a place where they will have no access to medical care, or avoid risk and turn around?  What options could you consider if you are about to start a trek and you get sick?  Also, is it a good idea to bring gifts for villagers along your route?  If so, what kinds of gifts are best to bring—or not bring—for them?  Learn the answers to these questions and more as you walk along with Jason and Anne Dorthe on the first day of their hike.  Have you always dreamed of trekking?  To access the ultimate resource for hiking adventures around the world and get our FREE gear guide, check out zerototravel.com/trekking.
