Hiking

This summer I went on a group tour around an island in Indonesia. During this trip we did a large amount of hiking, especially the first week. We hiked up multiple volcanoes, one of them in the middle of the night to see the beautiful night sky and also to see the sunrise from the volcano. of course this took quite some physical effort, especially when going up. Furthermore it was also quite slippery sometimes so it was important we kept an eye on each other. Besides hiking up volcanoes we also went a very big temple which included a lot of hikinh

Reflection based on the learning outcomes

• Increased awareness of my own strengths and areas for growth: During this activity i came very aware of my own strengths and areas for growth when looking at my physical fitness. The hiking could become quite hard because it was very hot and at quite high altitudes. this made me aware that i definitely has some areas of growth regarding my physical fitness. furthermore i also noticed that i had more difficulties with going up the volcanoe then down, but this gradually improved over the week.
• undertaking new challenges:  Hiking up volcanoes like on this was quite a challenge for em, first of all because i may not have a great stamina. furthermore i am also quite accident prone so i had to be extra careful, as i noticed when i slipped during hiking. this was also my first time going on hikes like this so it was also very new to me, but it was very much worth it
• show perseverance and commitment:  for this activity i needed a lot of perseverance because it involved long hikes and it was very tiring. moreover it was also extremely warm and it could be dusty and smelly as well. I did however see everything through and I made it to the top of  each volcano. thanks to this perseverance i got to see amzing views such as the sunrise from a volcano and a beautiful night ksy
