Ang pag lalakad sa trail ay mahalintulad mo sa pag mamaneho ng sasakyan…sa umpisa ramdam mo ang pagpapagana ng lahat ng parte ng katawan mo(mata sa daan, kaliwang kamay sa steering wheel, kanang kamay sa kambyo, kanang paa sa accelerator at brake at kaliwang paa sa clutch….habang tumatagal pag na sanay na automatic na yung reflexes mo sa kamay at paa at na eenjoy na ng mga mata mo ang tanawin na nadadaanan. Ganun din sa pag hike sa katagalan matututunan mo rin humakbang ng tama sa mga technical trail para maka iwas sa mga sakuna sa maling pag apak ng paa…cheers to your conquered dreams…more success to your life!

[@jeannetteferreras8943]

If you like hiking you should do the Camino de Santiago in Spain! It’s the most rewarding experienced you get to meet people from different countries!

[@jackidoblado3532]

New subscriber here 🙌🙌 I'm 22 years old now, and it's been a year since I entertained the idea of hiking as one of the best escapes for meditation. now I want to spend this year learning more about it as a preparation for me as a beginner. Watching the experiences of those hikers can help me to further know the true experiences during trails and also inspire me more about why I must pursue hiking. now, here found this vlog, and I admit I love how she delivers her experiences, and sa mga words na bini-bigkas niya pa that gives me a bonus knowledge. And those things could describe why I subscribed to her channel. Can't wait to watch all her vlogs and learn more about her experiences and about her as well.

[@coleenkeithgarcia5731]

“The reward of suffering is experience” 💪🏻 Going to experience Mt. Apo hopefully by next year!! 🤞🏻😁
