It looks like she’s having a blast.
A woman is trying to set a world record by living on top of a volcano for a month.
Perla Tijerina is currently living on Pico de Orizaba, the highest peak in Mexico and the tallest volcano in North America.
The 31-year-old will live 18,620 feet above sea level for 32 days — a feat she’s excited to accomplish.
“I like to test my mental strength,” Tijerina, from Saltillo, Mexico, told NeedToKnow.online.
She’s calling this challenge the “high-rise woman.” Tijerina is working through the struggles of living on a volcano such as violent winds, electrical storms, hypothermia and mountain sickness.
Before embarking on her journey, Tijerina made sure to pack some things from home to keep her from being bored and feeling alone.
“I am never alone, I have too many books to read, and I meditate,” she shared. “I have the bible that I read at all times to keep me spiritually and mentally strong.”
She shares her adventures on her Instagram page @perlatijerina_ where she has over 2500 followers.
In one video with 19,300 views, she explains and introduces her followers to her experience.
Along with beating a world record, Tijerina hopes to inspire other women.
“I want to be an inspiration for all those women who are looking for a motivation that encourages them to continue making an effort, to be constant and not to give up despite the obstacles.”
