I have not ever been number one fan of doing something that involves many activities. The thing is I thought that a lot of work is done in my job, why should I do it when I am away taking vacation.
However this all changed when I was invited to go on what I thought to be one of those waste of time active holidays however when I received the invite I had a bit of holiday left over and thought screw it I will just go. After booking it I was then told the news that it wasn’t just an active holiday but one of those walking holidays.
When I heard all of this it did not sound very good to me at all but I managed to get on with it and push through all of my worries. When I actually arrived I was very surprised on how my opinion of the place had changed. I was able to see the world for what it was and it was great to get out of the city and into the great wilderness. The best part for me was to actually look at the wildlife during the walk.
We had no troubles at all with our suitcases or anything like that as we were walking from one inn to the next everyday with our main cases always one step ahead of us, being dropped off at the next stop. The only items we needed were the things for the specific day. I also had no trouble organising a fridge for my Diabetic gear which was a great relief to me as it is something I am always worrying about when I go away.
We actually went on a Costa Rica Holidays but there are so many other active and walking holidays out there to choose from, it changed the way I thought about the world and it may be worth going on one yourself.
