Def felt exactly like a little hobbit the whole time. Did a hut to hut hike which is a super accessible way to backpack if you're inexperienced since all you have to carry is clothes, and stopping at all of the mountain huts and getting a warm meal is so fantasy coded to me. Cheaper than the Swiss alps and less touristy and more impressive imo. best trip of my life

went with the fam and it was the best trip ever. the view while cruising on the slopes is just breathtaking and later drinking coffee at 3000m above sea level was surreal 😵💫

Recently I have been trying to sightsee more of my country - New Zealand - as I have been seeing a lot of feed about how beautiful NZ is, throughout my life I have not really stopped and experienced the amazing views NZ has to offer.
My first hike was done this year at Sunrise Hut, this was an EXTREMELY steep 2 hour and 45 minute walk to the top. Definitely worth the hike!

If I got nothing going on and it's nice out in the summer or early/mid fall, there's a pretty good chance I'm going on a hike.
It feels good to get tf away from a lot of the noise and bs, and to instead touch grass, take in nature, and be present with your surroundings as well as yourself. I love solo hikes but I also enjoy going with a close friend or two for some company.
And ofc I enjoy the exercise and challenge/accomplishment! It's pretty sick when you're doing a loop trail and you look back mid-hike to be like "damn I did all that!" The endorphins are flowing, I feel good, and nothing hits like a nice meal and a beer after a hike.
I'm also biased having lived close to the White Mountains my whole life lol

aka letting myself rot without guilt, in the hopes that it will actually recharge me!
