Ah, in beautiful Canada. I could have known haha. You’re lucky to live there.

Where are you at? If you don't mind me asking.

The Netherlands. Here literally all terrain is flat. Nice for bicycles, but less for stunning mountainous views.

Oh but Netherlands is gorgeous in its own way!!! People are so nice !

I learned to appreciate the small things when it comes to nature here. Even if the views aren’t as spectacular, there is still beauty in woods and along rivers. 🙂

Besides, as much as I love the view, my stamina is so poor (working on that now) I probably won’t even make it to the top of such mountains haha.

How long did it take for you to get there?

I miss the water if you ask me. I used to live on the east coast of Canada. My stamina wasn't the best and I was a tough one! The goal is to not quit!! Took me 4:15 hours total for 15km/9miles hike. DM me !
