The Road not taken!

Moments of self reflection
Quiet moments and  iam also selfish and love to spend time with myself all alone without anybody around

Iam not writing this post to motivate anyone  to hike alone
Solo hiking is all about wandering in the forest all alone !
Solo hiking is all about being left behind and then you take care of yourself





Its all about agreeing to pair with anyone you meet on the way and it is about trusting a few strangers you never met  before




If you dont learn to take care of yourself you will never be able to take care of a team or your family.




I know a friend of mine in school who wanted to be a Doctor , he had a sense of purpose in life from the time he was 9 Year old!
He would miss all the geography classes and attend all science classes because he knew science
is the foundation for the  Purpose of  his life



Not all who wander are lost , and iam the best example!
You know when you are not focused you get to explore many things
I make questionable hairstyles , questionable dressing style etc
Back in 2012 when i got a transfer from Singapore to Tokyo , i made a choice to move to Tokyo
And mom calls me and start crying- Earthquake , Tsunami etc etc and Radiation ..
My attitude was -  "Take life as it comes"

If you are going through hell - Keep going !
A magical place of Inspiration


We are suppose to wander and wander and only in the mind we are lost!

"Two Roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less travelled by , and that has made all the difference"




Deep in the woods.....




And More deep , my heart said - Dont worry you will not be lost!

Its nice to have someone around when the trail disappears 




On the way you meet Hiking Guides who can assist you with Photographs












While on trail a train of thought led me think about the Guides ..Hiking guide !
Some of them are below 14 -year old.
These young Tourist guides are waiting to spot any candidate who visit the hills to hike alone,
they accompany solo hikers borrow food from them , show them village around , alert them of the dangerous spots and thats how they earn their money !
They love to click as many pictures because they know they get more money to buy their books , some of them were studying in Middle School!


























Iam happy that iam not only fulfilling my Trail dream , while iam fulling my dream iam getting a chance to help someone buy their books Isn't that cool!

You know that there is something very majestic about trekking alone.
But for pics , you definitely need some assistance from Guides!
It is all about also assisting others who either come in a group or came to Hike alone

If you haven't really tried a solo hike ...meeting strangers and having no other option but to only trust them to find your way back , if you have not done this then your life is a waste!
