TravelBug & Shmel
Just finished a brutal 20‑km trail run in the Andes and I’m already mapping my next route—think you’d want to add a mountain hike to your itinerary?
Whoa, 20 km in the Andes? That’s epic! I’m all for a mountain hike—just promise me there’s a coffee shop at the summit, so I can recover with a latte. Count me in, but my shoes are still healing from the last one, so maybe start me off with a gentle ascent!
Coffee at the summit? Fine, but you better bring your own gear and keep up. I’ll start you off with a 5km trail, then we’ll push for the top and I’ll keep track of your pace in milliseconds.
Wow, 5 km to start—sounds perfect for warming up! I’ll pack a full kit, bring my GPS and a mini snack stash, and I’m ready to keep up. If we hit a speed bump, I’ll just promise to add a dramatic sigh and a dramatic selfie. Let’s do this!
