🇵🇭Ep8: The Shadow of Exhaustion: Tuba, Sardines, and a Change of Direction

Welcome back to another audio diary entry, recorded on June 12th from a little hilltop campsite somewhere south of San Carlos! Today was a day of massive realizations and sudden detours as I decided to abandon my northbound plans to avoid the trap of just "chasing numbers." Join me as I recount a grueling, completely shade-less trek down south towards Dumaguete, a heartwarming encounter with a former teacher, and an evening filled with local coconut wine, free sardines, and overwhelming gratitude. Grab your headphones, because today we’re exploring how sheer physical exhaustion can sometimes overshadow—but never truly erase—the beautiful moments of life on the road.
