Base Camp Chat: Mandy Mei — Brooklyn Base Camp

Three things that sum you up

Adventurer, Maker, Inspirer

Tell Us What You've Been Up To:

I've been looking into educational workshops/short camping experiences in the winter outdoors. This is to prepare my mind/body for my upcoming trips to Alaska and Antarctica!

Talk us through your mission and vision and who should get involved

My mission: Adventure. Make. Inspire. I live to experience life through traveling to unfamiliar places and to create content to share with others, and hopefully, that would motivate them to get out of their comfort zones and take risks—to live.

What's your favorite Brooklyn Base Camp feature?

I love the calendar of events on the Brooklyn Base Camp website.

Lifehack:

You might not regret the things you did, but you will definitely regret the things you didn't do.

Favorite NYC adventure:

Climbing (both indoors and outdoors)!

Song on Repeat:

Gonzales: Wintermezzo by Daniel Hope & Chilly Gonzales

Next Adventure:

All the icy adventures in Alaska

What is an upcoming event/program that we should know about?
