Go out and hike! It's simply the easiest way to be caught by adventure and facing the unknown. Follow the main trail in the woods or in the countryside out of humans landscapes, learn how to perceive what there is around you in a different way. The trees, the animals, the pure air and the new rumors and sensations are immersing you in a reality that is at the same time new ('cause we are used to city and humans artefacts) and very ancient: is where human being has lived for thousand of years.

The keen sensation of wild and of belonging that overwhelm you once you quit safe paths and approach the unknown is so intense and power that make us thrill and frighten. We have to bring to maturity these sensations in a way we can trust ourself and our skills. We are likes babies that have to enter in a brave new world. But our deep nature and the nature outside are deeply connected.

So, my suggestions in going hiking and trekking is always be humble and authentic. Never defy and be rash: try to feel yourself and be in connection and then it will be like fair playing. Nature gives us the possibility to grow up little by little, without asking in return nothing. In our deepest nature we are all indigenous.
