Hey, so I had no idea this even existed until I saw an "ad" for it while I was scrolling insta, erm I thought I'd jump on and give it a go to try and socialise a bit, I'm not very good at that in RL (social anxiety)
One of my hobbies rn is going hiking 🙂

i feel you, i struggle with social anxiety as well and text-based community is MUCH more doable for me than real life too @cheesypesto
ooo hiking sounds fun! i tried to get into it but i really struggle with uphill trails 😆
do you prefer hiking alone or with others?
and also a lil tip - if you wanna reply to someone, you can tag them using the @ and typing their username so they get notified of the response. like this: @cheesypesto hope that helps!

@rav3n oh thanks for the tip!
I struggle with uphill still ngl 😅 luckily the hikes around my area aren't overly steep or difficult, and I have the reward of an amazing view at the top.
I mostly hike alone, but my partner comes along sometimes.

@cheesypestomaybe i pick really bad hike trails with the most steep/uphill routes haha the view would absolutely be worth it, hey. i imagine catching the sunset/sunrise would be amazing too.
