Oh my... I thought I saw photos of places in my country, Philippines. 😊 It looks like our countries have the same landscape in some ways.

It is exciting to read through your adventures with something that I can relate to. While I am living in a city, I came from a place like that where I enjoyed my childhood. Your post actually made me remember those good old days. So thanks for sharing your hike here.

it makes no sense to go home without having learned anything during the trip

Ditto. I couldn't say more. 😊
