Mt. Naupa, you’re my most random adventure ever! 😍✨ After sending my mama and tita to the airport, I decided last minute to hike. IKR, that’s sooo random! 🙃 My Mt. Naupa experience is also one for the books because of my series of firsts! ☝🏻
#FirstTime to hike this mountain located in Naga, Cebu. ⛰️ The drop-off point is just an hour away from the city proper; hence, that explains why all of a sudden I went on an escapade. 😏
#FirstTime to climb solo (not with a group), but with a guide. 🚶🏻♂️🚶🏻♀️ He was surprised to see that I’m on my own, but I was also surprised when he thought I’m only 26 years old! Hihi! 🤭 Though the Bisdak guide is younger than me, perhaps he didn’t expect my pace so he ended up with cramps. Super sorry! 😅
Mt. Naupa is not for the faint hearted. Literally! 🫀🫁 #FirstTime did I feel my heart beat and lungs work like crazy! 🤯 Pushed my cardio to the limit because I cannot afford to miss the amazing sight! 🚨
#FirstTime to catch the sunset from the peak! 🌅 I’m used to hiking at dawn to watch the sunrise. For a change, I tried to trek at dusk and it was sooo rewarding to see the sky like BORAHAE! 💜
Mt. Naupa has 360° view. 🤩 So if you’re a sun chaser, its peak offers the best of both worlds. 💯 I was so tempted to go overnight; but judging by the looks of the natives, they were like, “No tent? Are you OK to be homeless?” 😳 So as not to scandalize them with my ‘random cowboyness’, 🤪 I just descended and reached the jump off point accompanied by the night sky. 🌌
Thankfully no casualties on my end, 🙏🏻 but I’m sure my guardian angel worked double time! 👼🏻 Daghang salamat, Mt. Naupa! Tinuod kang gwapa! 💚💙
