Type II Fun: My First Multi-Day Hike
Published:
Growing up, travel was always a relaxed affair with my family. The focus was to visit a new (or familiar) place, enjoy some good food and drinks, and see some iconic touristic landmarks. I’m privileged enough to have visited some lovely places around Europe following this format: from seeing the Basilica in Florence and Coliseum in Rome, to roaming London and Paris. I’ve gotten to experience many of the highlights that Europe has to offer as a conventional tourist, but something has always left me wanting. Hidden among the many joys of travel are some serious annoyances that have always dampened my experiences. I don’t care for large crowds of people and scripted touristic experiences. I started looking for something more than what was essentially the same holiday but re-skinned to a slightly different culture and scenery.
