00:01This is Manon.

00:03And my coma led me to become a traveler.

00:12She's one of the strongest, most unique women I've ever met,

00:15and her story is so deep that it's hard to tell in three minutes.

00:19Manon was one of the organizers for my Pakistan trip,

00:22and she flew all the way from her home in Oman to accompany us around her native country.

00:27Manon is an entrepreneur and makes a living from trading goods.

00:31She's also the head of partnership of Knowledge NGO, the biggest of its kind in Oman.

00:36She speaks six languages fluently and has lived in eight countries.

00:40I was born in Saudi and I have lived in France, Scotland, England,

00:44UAE, China, Oman, and USA.

00:47But Manon identifies as French Kashmiri.

00:49It's amazing!

00:51Kashmir is the region that's partly owned by China, partly by India, and partly by Pakistan.

00:56Her family is from the Pakistani Azad region, where we are filming this video today.

01:01We are right now on the highest peak of Kashmir, which is Pirtanasi.

01:05As an active traveler to 28 countries, Manon enjoys sharing her experiences on Instagram and YouTube.

01:11I'm the very first Kashmiri girl to travel the world solo.

01:14So far, judging by what I've told you, it seems like Manon is a wonderfully accomplished girl.

01:19And she definitely is. But just wait until you see what she's been through to get here.

01:24She grew up with ADHD and severe depression.

01:27In 2007, she got a stomach ulcer, which turned for the worst in 2016, when she had to spend nine months in the same hospital bed.

01:35Manon fell into a coma and was on life support for 15 days.

01:39She lost 135 pounds in the process, and her stomach shrunk to one-third the size of a newborn baby.

01:46My stomach is the size of my pinky finger.

01:48Now she's been out of the hospital for almost two years and has recovered remarkably fast.

01:54But her entire diet has changed. Everything she eats, she carries around in her purse.

02:05I'm gluten-free, lactose intolerant, vegetarian, and my stomach can only take five tablespoons a day.

02:10So this is what I eat for my lunch. So like four bites of corn equivalent to this and five salmon fries.

02:17Every night before sleeping, Manon needs to inject sodium or glucose in her leg.

02:22Kind of my weakness.

02:23She does this for four hours every night.

02:26Yeah, yeah, I can sleep with it. I watch TV with it. Like, I can even drive. I just put it in my car with my stand.

02:33Do you travel with how many bags of those?

02:35It depends. I take one bag for two days. So if I'm traveling for ten days, I'll take five of them.

02:42After all the hardships she's been through, Manon is one of the happiest souls I've ever met.

02:47Her goal of seeing the entire world has only just begun.

02:51This is a story of strength, perseverance, and courage.

02:54Despite doctors saying that she wouldn't survive, Manon has pushed through and nothing has stopped her from living a normal life.

03:07This girl just simply never gave up.
