Step Out Xayd - a benefit series for Xayd’s upcoming expedition.

Later this year, I will be embarking on an expedition on what mountaineers refer to as one of the toughest mountains in the Philippines. It takes three to four days to fully complete the traversing trail of this mountain. This also means my team will be incurring a significant amount of expenses for pursuing this expedition. The SBD proceeds of the Step Out-Xayd series will all go to the funding of this expedition.

See you on the trails!

Cheers,
Xayd
