Hi everyone, moon girl is here! Welcome to my channel Journey to be Me.

I like to share one particular hike I did recently in Jeju, can you guess what it is ?

Yes, that is climbing the Hallasan mountain in Jeju.

I am sure you guys can understand the excitement and challenges that come with hiking such a beautiful peak.

Yeongsil-ro trail is known to be one of the more accessible trails, with an estimated climbing time of 3-4 hours for both ascending and descending. As an experienced hiker, i felt confident about it, but the trail proved to be more challenging than expected. Climbing up stairs and tackling steep inclines can definitely be a workout, but it's all part of the challenge and excitement. The feeling of reaching the second peak have been incredible, despite my trembling body and fear of heights. And how amazing it to hear a voice saying, "Welcome home!" It's those unexpected moments that make the journey even more memorable. Not to mention, the sight of a beautiful, welcoming blue sky can be so uplifting and awe-inspiring. Nature truly has a way of taking our breath away, doesn't it?

It's amazing how this certain moments can make us feel so free from pain and stress. Finding that inner peace within ourselves is truly special.

I definitely want to go back to Hallasan mountain and conquer to the top.

I'm really glad that i took the trip up to Hallasan and it has helped me to gain some perspective. I come to terms that sometimes things get tough and challenging and it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed at times. It’s okay not to be ok. It's important to remember that everyone goes through ups and downs, and it's okay to have moments where you want to give up or express frustration. However, Taking a step back and appreciating the beauty around me is a wonderful way to find solace and regain my sense of calm. It can provide a much-needed break from the stress and turmoil that life can sometimes bring. Remembering to take time for yourself and prioritize self-care is crucial for maintaining your well-being.

So note to myself,

For future hikes, i could consider including stair climbing exercises in my training routine to better prepare my muscles and stamina. This can help me tackle similar challenges more comfortably. Additionally, researching the particular trail and reading first-hand accounts from fellow hikers can give me a better idea of what to expect.

Remember, every hike is a learning experience, and even if it presents unexpected challenges, it's all part of the journey. Keep exploring and enjoying the beauty of nature.
