At the age of forty, simply looking for something to keep her mind occupied, Pamela Lynch enrolled in an Arts degree at the University of Western Australia. What followed was an unexpected fifteen-year journey that culminated in a PhD in Classics and Ancient History.

Not content to take life easy Pamela then decided to trek to Everest Base Camp to celebrate her sixtieth birthday, returning to Nepal again two years later to take on a more difficult route through the Himalayas.

This trek didn't go as planned and Pamela was still in Kathmandu when, on 25th April 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the largest in over eighty years, struck Nepal

In How The Hell Did I Get Here? Pamela takes us on her journeys through the Himalayas, as she reflects on her transformation from a shy, na ve young mother to the confident, outgoing woman of today.
