Why I brought my toddler to see Mount Everest | Stefen Chow | TEDxXiguan
Traveling with children is notoriously hard - but is it? Stefen Chow explains why he started to travel with his young children, and the invaluable lessons they learned together along the trip. He takes audience on a journey with them with their stories and stunning pictures. Stefen Chow is a Malaysian-born, Singapore-raised photographer. Stefen undertakes long term projects with social conscience. Stefen is the co-founder of ‘The Poverty Line’, a global visual project that contextualises poverty. The project was referenced by the World Bank and exhibited as large scale installations at the Les Nuits Photographiques in Paris, PMQ in Hong Kong and the CAFA museum in Beijing. The project has been extensively featured in international media and is currently in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago. Stefen reached the summit of Mount Everest at the age of 25 and has been involved in more than 10 Himalayan expeditions. Stefen is grateful to be living his dream; he currently lives and works in Beijing with his wife and his two toddlers, Little Chow and Littler Chow.

This was a great talk. I hear a lot of couples say things like wanting to wait to travel with the little ones when they remember. One of my earliest memories is of when my dad took three year old me to an old school yard and he pushed me on the swing. I remember being scared of an old metalic yellow seesaw because it looked too big. I thought I made that memory up until my aunt uncovered that memory in an old photo where he was carrying me on his shoulders and the seesaw was in the background. The old playground was one he used to play on back in Mexico. My parents couldn't believe I actually remembered that first trip my dad and I took over there. My dad has good memories, of course some are ones I don't recall but I also have a recollection of things I remember happened on that trip. His daughter might not remember every single thing that happened on her climb to Everest but she will remember that it was time well spent with her family.
