EXCO FEATURE (6/12)
I have to admit that I’m not the fittest nor the most adventurous person ever. Joining NUS Mountaineering for my first trip a year ago, I was initially doubtful that I would enjoy myself through such an arduous journey. However, I was proven wrong as I immensely enjoyed every second in Nepal, because of the amazing people in my team and the breathtaking views I got to see. The highlight of my trip would definitely be at the summit, where I pulled out my stash of food and had the best meal in my life, consisting of chocolate bars and bakwa. Everyone has their own personal reason for conquering a mountain. For me it was merely a checkbox on my bucket-list, that turned out to be one of my most enjoyable and memorable experiences.
