I did the old silk route when I was a kid,going through Baluchistan was incredible,as was entering Xinjiang,I dont even speak fluent english but I made it,we only live once,I have some stories to tell my kid that when he is old enough to understand I was never a bad guy just because of past actions,I always wanted to try everest,I have been to namche bazzar,but its around £25000 for a place and then theres associated costs and three months acclimatization,I couldnt justify splashing £25000 even if I had it
