Why do people go hiking????

Why do people go hiking??? I went hiking for the first time yesterday. Apparently the trail i went on is feared by most tourists and it is the toughest trail in Swaziland. For a first timer like me, I should have retreated as soon as I heard this.

I made it up one “mini” mountain then turned back. My two friends and I turned back alone without a guide and went through the worst.

We ran out of food and water along the way. I felt like I was on an episode of Naked and Afraid.

When we eventually made it, 3 and a half hours later, we laughed out loud and we were proud of the fact that we made it on our own. Our friendship definitely reached a higher level yesterday.

So, other than building a stronger friendship, I will never go hiking ever again.
