My Solo Adventure At Sagada + Realizations

Avatar for Eirolfeam2

It's been more than a year when I went to Sagada. But the memories I have with the place is still fresh in my mind.

This view welcomed me when I had my solo trip to Sagada. It was in Banaue tho.

I was 17 years old when I dreamed of going to that place. It was probably because I was inspired by a movie called "That thing called Tadhana".

First thing we did when I was there was to watch the sunrise at Ampanga Heights.

Did you know that Sagada is known for its scenic and calming mountain valleys, rice fields, limestone caves, refreshing waterfalls, and cliffs that come with a sea of clouds?

This was at Marlboro Hills. Majestic view!

This was my first time to have a solo adventure. And I must say, it was all worth it. I proved to myself that I can really do things with my own.

I couldn't get over with the sun.
Have you tried to play the sun with your own hand?

Contrary to what most people believe in, it is not boring and lonely to travel alone. Because along the way, you will meet new and great people who might change your views in life.

The lights we used inside the Sumaguing Cave. It was very dark inside.

When we were inside the cave, I realized that whenever we feel like we are left in the dark, we only need to find our light- and that is God.

I captured this on our way to the Blue Soil.
Still couldn't get enough of the sun.

While my group and I were hiking to the Blue soil, I realized that there are still few good people out there. A person who will be by your side when you are alone while others are with their group having fun.

The blue soil is indeed blue!

When we finally reached the blue soil, I again proved to myself that "A bumpy road leads to a beautiful destination."

It wasn't easy to hike to this place. I remember I almost slid because of the huge and slippery rocks.

This was at Church of St. Mary the Virgin

I am a person who treats everything has a deadline. I need to finish everything at a specific time. But I realized that I have to walk at my own pace. I don't need to rush things. Because I know that God is and will always be there with me every step of the way.

P.S. All photos are mine.

Actually, I was 19 when I went to Sagada. And I did not tell them I was going alone there. I said I was going with a friend, that is why they allowed me. Hahaha But I got home safe anyway. So they had nothing to worry about.

😊... I envy those who happened to visit those places when we are only few kilometers from it but didn't have the chance🤣. I only saw them on pictures. Well, its because i didn't grow in this hometown. Maybe if i stayed here, perhaps i had already experienced the dreams i am still going to fulfill🤣
