Teen-age Seven Summiteer Jordan Romero appeared on the Today show this morning to talk about his recent climb of Mt. Vinson in Antarctica, and the successful completion of his goal to become the youngest person to climb the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. In case you missed the interview, you can watch it in the video below, where you’ll see a remarkably mature and composed young man who has stayed focused on his dreams and has worked very hard to achieve them.
In the interview, Jordan also talks about what adventures he might be pursuing in the future. He indicated that while he would like to take a little time to relax and reflect for now, he also wants to continue inspiring other kids to go after their own goals through his Find Your Everest initiative. The 15-year old also hinted that a journey to the South Pole may be in his future as well. As you can tell from the video, he seemed to really enjoy his time in Antarctica, which he calls the most beautiful place he’s ever visited.

He's done great! Well done to him but let's see how he gets on without his father…and his father's money!
Something tells me he'll be just fine Tom, after all, I think sponsors will be happy to help fund his future adventures.
Jordan’s dad isn't made of money, he's made up of a lot of spirit and enthusiasm and sense of anything is possible and that's what he's given his Son. Jordan was instrumental in raising much of the money for his expeditions with the guidance and help of his dad. Jordan is fortunate to have the encouragement that he gets but he's learned and is already taking the reins in helping other youth achieve their dreams and to inspire them to lead healthy lifestyles. Jordan is a leader and will continue to achieve his goals whatever they are, as well as encourage others to do the same.
Paul, Karen & Jordan are also very professional. I've send email to them 2 years ago and 2 weeks ago. They always replied which is very sweet.
