Thank you so much! And your username is so sweet @littlebeatle! You draw such nice parallels there with hiking up the mountain. Makes me think of the solo hike I completed two years ago of Slieve Donard in Northern Ireland. My twenty-ish minutes at the top were funny since the fog showed up once I reached the top, and I could see only the rocky cairn, but nothing beyond it - 
So imagine if that was all that mattered? Pretty sad, right? But no, you are right! It is all about the journey, about the adventure and the little things along the way :) I wouldn't trade the journey for anything!
Thank you so much for your comment which led me to amazing memories of the mountains too! :)
aw I'm crazy fan of The Beatles and I'm a rare little Vietnamese girl here in the Western town who performs lots of Beatles songs so I got that nickname! 😊
And you know your story just put a big smile on my face cause my story is exactly the same haha
Here is the photo I took from the top of a mountain I went hiking in Tay Ninh province, Viet Nam in 2016. Took me 3 hours to get to the top and this is all we could see
That was my first time hiking actually and the journey was very rough but those were unique experiences of what I saw along the way, new skills I learned, the laughs and memories I made with my friends. It is very cool of you to do that alone and still enjoyed the best out of it!
Cheers for the "journey lovers" and another beautiful week! 🤗
