When everything feels like an uphill struggle, think about the view
from the top.
Hiking should not only be seen as exercise which is good for ones health
by reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking to me means spending time in
nature while being able to enjoy the peace and quiet, having time to let
the thoughts wander and exercising at the same time.

I personally have hiked a lot, especially since meeting my husband. We
try to include a hike in every vacation which has lead to me having
hiked in countries and cities like Mauritius, Vancouver, Tasmania and
Wilsons Promotory in Australia - all places at which mountains hit the
sea! We like to use a website called Komoot to plan our hikes as it
provides recommendations from other hikers as well as a great overview
of the track, length and elevation change. Feel free to try it out
yourself!
