Hello fellow hive travellers! Hows your weekend? I assume it was fantastic right? So, as for Today I'm gonna share my first ever trekking experience.

Do you like trekking? Does trekking help you take away your stress and problems? In my opinion trekking is when you walk through nature, exploring remote areas, and pushing personal limits. Last Saturday @naymhapz invited me to do trekking together with other hive friends. So to my curiousity I accepted the invitation. To challenge myself physically and mentally, and to enjoy the view we see along the way.

The beginning of our long journey

Upon arriving at Sab.a San remegio, we immediately started to set out for our long walk. We just bought food for our lunch and water. Our first destination was to arrive at 2nd battalion before 12 so that we can cook for our lunch.

Do you know what's fun about trekking? It's when u discover the undiscovered hidden spot located somewhere in the specific area. I found these landscapes very interesting where the sky and green field collide, Imagine living here away from noise and pollution. I didn't feel the hotness of the blazing sun because of the stories and laughters we shared from my friends along the way.

Finally we arrived at 2nd battalion. But our journey has yet to end because we still have to find a river for us to cook for our lunch. We rested there for a bit to buy some water because we ran out of water after that we went back to walking again.

We found the right spot to cook for our lunch. So without further Ado we started to light the fire and cooked the raw chicken that we bought . While cooking we take pictures of ourselves and unluckily I slipped on the rocks and fell into the river.

Since the chicken was already cooked we immediately started to eat. In our place, we call this style of eating "BUDOL" where we used banana leaves to put our foods together and share it for everyone.

After satisfying our hunger, we resumed our trek, this time we traced the path alongside the river.

The rocky and slippery terrain

The most exciting part

Despite the weariness in my feet, the rhythmic splashing of the water brings a sense of calm, physically and mentally. I found the rugged stones amusing, I find the formation of rocks we encountered beautiful the way they are, And lastly I felt thrilled while leaping from rocks to rocks.

After hours of walking and leaping we felt tired and weary, so we decided to find locals in the area to buy some coconuts to quench our thirst, as our water supply had once again emptied.

After freshening ourselves we decided to go home because it's almost 4:00 and we still have a long way to go.

We didn't use the same road upon going home

At last! We arrived at almost 6pm, safe and sound. My first ever trekking experience was a success! Despite the exhaustion felt by my body and feet, and the challenges of rocky and slippery slippery terrain we took, we preserved and reached our destination safely. I look forward to my next trekking adventure soon.

So that's all for today's blog, I hoped you enjoyed it. Till next time see you!
