It’s 2021! With the hope that we are leaving behind all the struggles and loss we experienced last year, I wish you all the best for the upcoming 365 days.

Anyone who has been an active audience of my quest and supported me on my expeditions since 2017 is familiar with my evolution as a woman, person, friend, citizen and entrepreneur.

The realizations and deep emotions that I unlocked through these journeys have shaped my perception and character. I now fully understand the positive impact and influence I have on people, especially the youth, and I’m determined to keep sharing my knowledge, experience and be a shield or a helping hand to everyone who believes in pursuing their dreams and ambitions.

Even though 2020 hasn’t been a great year for most of us, with the help of partners, my staff, and our will to stay active we managed to make the best out of this year.

We managed to be outdoors, organized excursions in the mountains, for adults and children. We explored mountains and the beautiful flora and fauna, teaching children about unique phenomena, organizing clean-up activities and we all took a deep breath together with nature.

The year we are leaving behind will remain special for me because my first book got published. Soon enough ‘Uta and the Mountains’ children’s illustration book became a sensation among children and this inspired me to go further.

Later in July, ‘Uta and the Mountains’ Coloring Book got published, and both books were translated into Albanian, Serbian, and Roma making my story available for all children of Kosovo.

I now have a team that can lead to big projects that practically apply my legacy even with my absence. So I am ready to get back to the pending expeditions.

I am really looking forward to 2021 and planning to get back on new expeditions to achieve my 14×8000 project, and climb the 9 remaining mountains of the Himalayan range, but also new corporations and partnerships for different projects that encourage tourism, outdoor activities with children, and environmentalism.

In order to become the first woman from the Balkans to climb all of the world’s highest mountains, I need your help and support. The expeditions that are awaiting me will cause sensational events and be big news all over.

So here’s the roadmap for this year:

My plan for spring 2021 is to climb Anapurna.

ANAPURNA (8,091 m) –  is a massif in the Himalayas in north-central Nepal that includes one peak over 8,000 metres.

“Historically, the Annapurna peaks have been among the world’s most treacherous mountains to climb with the particular case of the extremely steep south face of Annapurna I Main – a wall of rock that rises 3,000 meters (9,800 feet) – making it one of the most difficult climbs in the world.”

Hopefully summer 2021 finds me climbing K2.

K2 (8,611 metres ) is the second highest mountain in the world, after Mount Everest. It is located on the China–Pakistan border. K2 is known as the Savage Mountain after George Bell, a climber on the 1953 American Expedition, told reporters “It’s a savage mountain that tries to kill you.”

And for the season of Autumn 2021 I plan to climb Makalu.

“Makalu (8,485 m) is the fifth highest mountain in the world, located in the Mahalangur Himalayas 19 km (12 mi) southeast of Mount Everest, on the border between Nepal and Tibet Autonomous Region, China, known as a busy tourism region.”

Three tough expeditions in a year are only possible with your help.

Thank you for your trust, friendship, love, and support. Let’s reach heights and enjoy the big picture together.

Love,

Uta
