Up to The Mountain, Down to The Beach

Spending time in nature is a very fun activity to do in our free time. We always need refreshment after a boring and monotonous routine for a week. We can go somewhere once in a week on weekends or once in a month. I love spending time in nature as well. Although the destinations are not so far away. I usually choose going to the beach and to the mountain. Both mountain and beach are beautiful places; they have their own characteristics.



Going to the mountain is not easy, we need more effort and it is not recommended for the old people . We need to be well prepared before hiking to the mountain. We have to prepare our physic and mental as well. Long before the day, we have to exercise ourself, like jogging and swimming. We need to train our physic in order our bodies are accustomed to the heavy terrain, therefore the hiking is not that heavy. Beside the preparation of that, we also have to prepare the logistics. We bring enough logistic to the mountain, food and water.

Moreover, we have to choose the correct outfit to wear. Mountain as we know is a very cold place, especially at night and in the morning. Therefore we have to wear thick clothes, gloves, and beanie hat. It is to minimize something bad happens, for example hypothermia. Then about timing, we have to choose the correct time to go there. We can't go there whenever we want; for example it is better to go between June and August, in the beginning of the dry season. 

Whereas beach is an easy place to visit. We don't need a hard effort to go. We can go there whenever we want. Although we don't need a spesial preparation, but we still need to prepare something before going to the beach. The outfit that we can wear to the beach of course is different with the outfit for mountaineering. As we know, beach is a hot place so it is recommended for us to wear light clothes and beach hat. It is better to choose light colour as well. Moreover, we can apply sunscreen or sunblock to our skin. We don't need logistic because we can directly buy some foods there.


It is just a preference. If we like a cold place, we can go to the mountain. It is very tranquil and green. We can see the beautiful landscape from above and it is very challenging as well. While, if we like a hot and sunny place, beach is  recommended. There we can enjoy the water as well. We can jump into the beach and swim, of course if it is allowed.
