Hiking
In 2018 when my friends and I were about to set out for our trek to Everest Base Camp, bad weather hit us, and we were stuck in Kathmandu for six days, unable to fly out. I was frustrated, and at one point even wondered why I had gone to Nepal in the first place before deciding there was nothing else to do but wait it out. On the seventh day the weather cleared and we flew to Lukla to begin our trek, which we completed successfully at Base Camp. My experience in Nepal had a positive effect on me; It taught me never to lose hope and give up, and that there wasn't anything I couldn't do with my life. I also realised how those extra days in Kathmandu had allowed me to reflect, take a step back and think about where I was headed
