Mountaineer Tine Mena is the first woman from her region of India to reach the summit of Everest, after which she returned home a hero. She now serves as a source of inspiration for her community, but rather than just rest on her laurels and soak up the adulation, she is now working to inspire others to explore the world around them too. In this wonderful video we not only get a chance to meet Mena, but we also get to see just how she is impacting the lives of young people in India who may not have thought they could travel, explore, and do adventurous things too.
