Last Minute Sapa Adventure: Pushing Limits

-

Again, I booked my latest trip like a day before!This time, I joined my friend on a trip to Sapa, Vietnam. I wanted to challenge myself and see if my body could handle the hiking and long days (12 hours!) exploring with my younger friends. 

Since I was on a budget, I booked a transit flight from Phnom Penh to Hanoi with a layover in Ho Chi Minh City. This turned out to be a bad idea! Going through immigration twice was a hassle, and luckily, I hadn't checked in my luggage, or it would have been a disaster. To top it off, my flight was delayed twice for a total of two hours, making me arrive in Hanoi at 11 pm. 

Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled about waking up at 5 am to catch the 6 am bus to Sapa. Despite the rough start, I made it (with a few complaints!). The first day of hiking in a village was an amazing experience. I absolutely loved it! The rest of the trip was alright, but it did feel a bit touristy. 

Overall, it seems my workouts and weekend walks with Aldo (my dog) have paid off. I handled the long walks and hikes surprisingly well. This trip was a great escape, and I rediscovered a sense of adventure within myself. I'm so glad my friends invited me along!

When one exerts much effort to keep love alive within a relationship and it then fails, the one trying to hold the relationship together is heartbroken because the one that they love has rejected them. In such a circumstance, the one with a broken heart needs to recognize that the relationship is over and to make a clear decision to stop pursuing this person as they are unable to love in return. To do this however, psychological findings reveal the reason behind why some relationships do not work and why in some instances love cannot be reciprocated. The reason is quite
