One thing I envy about trails in other countries especially in Europe is that your trails are well-established, paved if I may that makes the hike easier. Here in PH, you're lucky if you go on a hike on a sunny day otherwise, you'd be covered in mud and leeches after a hike.
But is it always the case?
They are not always so well groomed with infrastructure like this. Sometimes just a dirt or rocky path. Really depends on where you go. Never any leeches though. That's a whole new fear unlocked. 😲😱🫣
