Episode Synopsis
Climbing the Earth's highest mountain is a formidable challenge - even for the most experienced climber. Those scaling it are risking their lives. But at 17, Herts graduate Farida ElSharkawy did just that and became the youngest African to reach base camp. Farida had to battle her mind and body to complete this fantastic achievement. She sat down with Bre to talk about the harrowing but triumphant expedition and her professional life since graduating from the University of Hertfordshire's partner institution, INTI International University in Malaysia.
