When you’re a “let’s take time off work to climb mountains and go on sketchy adventures” kinda person, and therefore you need a vacation from your vacation 🥲

Can you relate? 😜

Save our best rainy day hiking tips for spring because April showers shouldn’t prevent you from getting outside! 🌸🌦️⤵️

1️⃣ GARBAGE BAG - always keep at least one trash bag in your hiking pack. It’s the most handy thing that can keep you dry in a rain storm, serving as a poncho, a dry bag inside your backpack, and a rain cover. This is our favourite hack because it’s both budget friendly and practical!

2️⃣ DURABLE RAIN JACKET WITH PIT ZIPS - wear a waterproof (not water resistant) jacket. Ensure it has pit zips for ventilation because sweat trapped inside the jacket could make your clothes wet and you will feel colder.

3️⃣ GAITERS AND WATERPROOF SHOES - some people prefer non waterproof shoes because they drain better. However when it’s raining, your feet won’t dry once they get wet so it’s best to use waterproof shoes to avoid blistering. Gaiters further help prevent water from flowing into your shoes.

4️⃣ AVOID COTTON & Wear quick dry clothing - cotton loses its insulating properties when wet. Stick with synthetics and wool.

5️⃣ CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRAIL - when it rains, you probably won’t see views anyway. Don’t climb up a mountain during a lightning storm - if you feel static on your hair, get down! The best hikes during rainfall are waterfall hikes when the water flows more!

6️⃣ CAUTIOUSLY CROSS STREAMS - always unbuckle your backpack waist strap when doing river crossings to avoid being drowned by the backpack if you accidentally fall in.

Do you hike in any weather or do you only go out when it’s sunny?

Are you the wanderlust friend, or are you the person who always has to ask “where are you”?

Send this to that friend if you can relate 😅

We’re both because our friends are all over the place too 🙃 And this week, running is looking a bit different on the equator (starting at 11,000ft in this video on our first day to get acclimatized!) We’ve fallen in love with this new country already…it’s one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been 🥹

Does adventure girl math make you jam pack your schedule too?!

True story from today…I went for a 25km run instead of packing for my flight in a few hours. And yes, I have come close to missing my flight quite a few times 😂

Tbh it’s because I needed to get my long run in this week in preparation for the @bmovanmarathon happening in T minus 3 weeks!!! I’ll be doing my taper training in the Andes mountains at 15,000 ft…wish me luck 🥲🏔️
