Tima Deryan is the Youngest Arab and First Lebanese Woman to Summit Mount Everest – the highest peak in the world. Tima Deryan is also the 1st Arab Woman to Summit Ojos del Salado – the highest active volcano in the world.

And now, Tima Deryan has her eyes set for the explorer’s grand slam- when you complete the seven summits and ski to the last degree of the North and South Pole.  Something that less than 70 people have done.

Tima has been featured on CNN, MBC, MTV, Sky News, Reuters, Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya, Virgin Radio, New York Times, Khaleej Times, The National, Gulf News, South China Morning Post…. I’m gonna stop telling you where she’s been featured. You get the point.

Tima Deryan is an advocate for youth and women’s rights, an activist of environmental issues, and is driven by her love of nature

My guest and friend is also an entrepreneur, an aspiring motivational speaker, and leads mentorship programs for the youth and women.  She is an inspiration to men and women, young or old, that there is no summit that can’t be conquered, in any aspect of your life if you’re willing to do whatever it is takes (myself included).

Tima wants to give back to the world, what the world has given to her.

Tima Deryan is the mountain Gypsy.
