Nature Walks and Hikes
ОглавлениеExplore local parks, nature reserves, or trails. Nature helps you relax and refresh your thoughts.
First of all, let me share with you one small secret: nature is not just about huge national parks with bears, which, by the way, are not so happy to see tourists. No, nature is also your local park, where squirrels already know your face and may even be willing to borrow a few nuts from you.
Exploring local parks, nature reserves, or trails is a great way to escape the city’s hustle and bustle. Sometimes it’s enough just to get out of the house and take a walk in the nearest park to feel connected to nature. It’s also a great opportunity to check if your fitness trackers are still working after the latest update.
Nature really helps you relax and refresh your thoughts. In the forest, you can not only enjoy the beauty of the surrounding world, but also arrange a competition with yourself: how many species of birds or trees can you find? And if you suddenly get lost, this will be a great chance to learn how to navigate by compass or, in extreme cases, by the sun. Or, alternatively, use a mobile phone.
Remember that every walk-in nature is not only an opportunity to get some fresh air, but also a chance to make sure that your new hiking equipment was really worth the money you spent on it. And don’t forget about the picnic! Just imagine: you, nature and your favorite sandwich. Just don’t accidentally share it with the local animals, they’re usually not very picky about food.
So let’s go on an adventure! You may even be able to take a photo where the whites don’t look like blurry spots.
Organize a small picnic in nature.
Imagine: you, fresh air, greenery around and a basket of goodies. Organizing a small picnic in nature is not just a reason to change the environment, but also a great way to strengthen your health and spirit. It’s also a great reason to check out if you can still light a fire without using YouTube.
Advantages of a picnic in nature:
Fresh air is the best friend of your lungs and brain. Deep breaths in nature will help you forget about what urban smog is. However, you may have to remember what real mosquitoes are. Relaxation and stress reduction-nature has a calming effect. And of course, you will have the opportunity to find out which of your friends is most suitable for the role of head chef at the picnic. Physical Activity-Getting to the perfect picnic spot can sometimes be a good workout. Plus, a walk after the picnic will help you digest all the goodies that you ate there. Time with family and friends – a picnic is a great way to strengthen relationships and create unforgettable memories. Or find out which of your friends always «forgets» to take something important with them.
Disadvantages:
Preparation – it can be a bit tedious. But remember that the effort is worth it! Who doesn’t love a good outdoor meal? The unpredictability of the weather-but that adds to the adventure, doesn’t it? The main thing is to have a plan B. Or at least a raincoat.
Now let’s talk about why this should be done. A picnic in nature is not only fun and relaxing, but also a way to recharge your batteries, take a break from the daily routine and remind yourself that life is not just about work and household chores. This is the time when you can listen to the birds singing, and not the alarm clock ringing. In addition, imagine what wonderful photos for VK you will get!
In general, a picnic in nature is not only about delicious food and fresh air, but also about health, joy, connection with nature and loved ones. It’s also a great way to make sure you still know how to cook something other than instant food in the microwave.
