For those with a foundation in physical fitness, trekking 108 kilometers is challenging but not beyond reach. For me, the real challenge lies in "going vegetarian" for the entire journey.

I have always been resistant to eating vegetables from a young age. When I came across this trekking event, I felt excited but also a bit worried about whether I could actually do it (eating only vegetarian).

As the days passed during the 4-day trek, it surprisingly wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. Instead, it felt a bit "lighter" and less "burdensome." Additionally, my digestive system seemed to have significantly improved. Most importantly, I discovered that vegetarian food can be delicious and diverse.

Throughout the vegetarian journey in the Gobi, besides the physical challenges, there were numerous internal dialogues with myself. It allowed me to delve deeper into self-discovery. I am grateful for every team member who appeared during the process, showing me the power of unity and the importance of mutual support.

Wholesome has enabled me to become a better version of myself, connecting with nature, with others, and with myself."
