My top 10 best and most terrifying hiking experiences

The best thing about hiking to me is the unexpected. You never know what can happen!!

1) Running from a tree branch as a kid thinking it was a dead animal
2) Having a bunch of mad cows running after us in a hike in Costa da Lagoa, Florianópolis, Brazil
3) Meeting a crazy drunk ballet dancer in a local pub/bar in the beach of Pantano do Sul, Florianópolis, Brazil. I'll post the “show” video here some day
4) Getting stuck inside a van with 45 backpackers and having the driver drive backwards for about one mile so that the posh lady in her fur coat and new car could pass, yes, she is more important than 45 stupid hikers!
5) Seeing a live volcano with burning sulphur in Santorini, Greece
6) Seeing a piece of white fabric hanging on a very, very high tree, thinking it was a dead body and having to walk completely scared to that tree only to find out it is probably nothing, but the mistery remains in your mind forever
7) Laughing out loud in Hampstead Heath imagining there is a mad dog living there somewhere and that it attacks rich people
8) Twisting an ankle, who hasn’t?
9) Breaking a toenail
10) Making new friends and having seen the most spectacular views, always!!
