  • The best lifeguard in Rwanda!
  • For a relatively small country, Lebanon packs in quite a punch!⁣
⁣
Within only a few hours from its capital city, Beirut, are sandy and pebble-stoned beaches, historic towns and souks, beautifully preserved ruins, cedar forests and stunning mountainous backdrops!⁣
⁣
On Travel with a Pen, I've written an extensive guide to planning a 7-day trip in Lebanon! Visit the #linkinbio to get the details!
  • 𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞?
  • 𝐒𝐨... 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬?⁣
⁣
I have decided to keep my hiking boots! Ironically, these particular ones got damaged during this hike, and I had to toss them out!🥲⁣
⁣
After years of deliberating and threatening to sell my boots, all mostly done while 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 on the trails, I've decided that these views and experiences are worth it for me! - also a thought I foster while 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 or as I lay down comfortably in my bedroom. 🫠⁣
⁣
Sigh! It is what it is,  and we'll come back to review this decision after the next hiking adventure!
  • One of the differences between hiking Mount Kenya vs. Glacier National Park is that you carry your own backpack and food in the latter.⁣
⁣
Mark's goal was keeping my backpack as light as possible (bless him), so here's what I had in my bag, while he and Jake carried our food and cooking stuff...
  • 𝗪𝐚𝐢𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞! ⁣
⁣
Missing from my meal compilations are the sidelined freeze-fried Jambalaya (which I enjoyed), ginger chicken, African Peanut Stew, numerous cups of hot chocolate, and wild huckleberries!⁣
⁣
Thanks to our friend, Jake, who got all our food and snacks for this backpacking adventure!
