I know most people would have chosen the Caribbean, but I like to do non ordinary activities, travel in a unique way to be able to experience “life.’” Arebalo is no stranger to challenges, previously taking part in Spartan races as a test of agility and stamina. “The last Spartan race I did before the summit tested my mental state as it was in Vermont, at Killington Mountain (over 4,000 feet). It was my firsttime experience of the notion of ‘mind over matter,’ but I finished.” She has also challenged herself other times as well. “I
