It was Day 9. Last day of the .
29 km. 6,5 hrs.
Camping Mønbroen 🚶🏽♀️ Bogø
Stops: 🧘🏽♀️🧘🏽♀️
And I made it.. 9 days of solitude. Just me, myself and I. Thoughts, questions, answers and 14kg backpack..
Distance: 176 km
Days: 9 days in total (7 - hiking, 2 - resting)
Hours: 7.5 hours of hike in average per day
Length: Min 11 km - Max 39 km per day
This was the first time in my life when I actually went for such a long hike on my own with camping gear. When I was leaving I didn’t know how to assemble tents ⛺️ or how is it to sleep in a shelter 😳 . I didn’t know how to light the gas “thingy” 🔥 to prepare food for myself and even wasn’t sure how to navigate through the map 🗺. But I knew I will figure out on the way..
The idea of doing “real” was there for a long time, but when life gave me an opportunity to do this one. The decision came straight away and the backpack was fully packed in three days from 0 to full 50 liters.
I didn’t want to go completely into the wild and stress myself, but rather wanted to not follow any plans, which I already had enough in my life.
Every day ended up being a short term challenges with small rewards, such as nice soft bed, warm shower, good food and even sauna and swim in the sea after sleepless cold night in a tent..
First time in my life I focused completely on myself. My needs, my desires, my time and my “journey”. And it was unbelievable experience.
Every day was different from each other. Different thoughts 💭 fights and reconciliations, different emotions 💔 hate and love, different weather 🌦sun and rain, and different experiences 🥾 wild and homey. But it was all about same me 🙋🏽♀️.
I’ve met some great people on the way that showed me how complete strangers can open you up and remind you who you truly are.
This trip has taught me to love myself and also forgive myself for all the “mistakes” that I’ve done throughout life. Which made my heart even more widely open now ❤️
Even though the trail is over..For me it’s only the beginning..
Thank to everyone, who supported me during this short, but such an important time in my life 🙏🏼
What’s next..?
