“Witnessing the trees, mountains, lakes, streams, rocks, sunrises, and sunsets is such a powerful and fundamental experience. Trekking teaches you that life isn’t a race. Life is meant to be experienced and not just lived. Hiking up the mountain is something that should be cherished. It’s about the journey and not the destination which is exactly how we should think about life. Hiking in the mountains and getting in touch with nature makes you realize how small you and your problems are compared to the beauty of nature. Mountains have some kind of magic in them. The group reminded me of what it means to be unconditionally kind and loved. And the most beautiful thing about it all? Most of us were strangers when we came together, and yet not one of us hesitated to help the other. I will be forever grateful for this experience that made me get to know the amazing side of every one of you. I will always be indebted to you for this beautiful experience.”
