"The Stratosphere Tower. You can go right to the top of the tower to see the views of Las Vegas. It also has several thrill rides and you can Sky Jump 192 meters down it!"

- About them:
Just another woman wishing she had enough money and time to travel the whole wide world. Come with me on a journey as I explore, learn, travel and share my experiences.
What was your favourite part of the experience?
"Walking around the crater of this stunning active volcano with a breathtaking view of green grasslands and a horizon of fluffy clouds."
What is the best time of the day to start climbing?
"We started climbing at 3:30 am. Walking at night was a challenge, but it was worth it - to be able to see the Milky Way, the cloud floor and the orange light emerging behind the mountains' silhouette."
What are your 'must-pack' items for this place?
"Trekking shoes, a climbing stick, water, sunscreen, a cap, a snack and your phone/camera. Also bring a light jacket, because it can get chilly at 3:30 am."
