From a 'WALK-IN STROLLER' to a "FREE FULL-ACCOMMODATION" GUEST at a campsite BECAUSE OF HIVE.

*“I sometimes forget that life’s not just full of surprises. It’s also full of gifts.” – Capheus Van Damme* Hi wonderful people! Hope everyone's doing great! The other day, I published my blog about my refreshing experience in one of the tranquil, clean, and safe camping sites within my hometown. I went there as a **walk-in guest** together with my husband to get some fresh air, distress, energize, and as I mentioned on my last blog "reconnect with nature". Here is the link to my previous blog. *(Couldn't rename the link using my mobile phone)* https://peakd.com/hive-163772/@callmesmile/reconnecting-nature-at-paharuhay-campsite-tabogon-cebu-philippines The place is perfect for the wandering mind and soul. If you are someone who were in deep thoughts lately then this place is right for you. The place will soothe you, relax and calm your mind. There's something in the place that will tell you to " **relax and just let things be".** -------- It's been a while since I had my camping experience. Oh, how I miss the bonfire, the star gazing, the soft feel of the ground, the morning dew, and that feeling of waking up and all you see is nature before your eyes. *"When can I camp again?"*I asked myself as I cover my envy to the campers. A question I didn't bother answering because I knew its quite impossible to realize it sooner. My baby is still young and maybe she'll find the camping environment uncomfortable, but the real deal is "spending money" on camps and the likes (which were my hobbies back then) is **not** a part of my priority list anymore. I guess they are right, once you become a mother your priority change to "baby and family first always". Common, please tell me this isn't true anymore three to five years from now!. This and an ocean of thoughts flooded my mind which gradually fade away as I immerse myself in nature. After I enjoyed and reloaded myself of the positivity and energy I needed. I went back home and started writing my blog about this relaxing experience of mine over the weekend. Typed. Checked the draft. Saved. Then Publish. . , Published. I then shared the link of my blog to the Campsite's Facebook Page in the hope that they will notice my blog and help them advertise their camping site by using the picture I took. Pictures I made sure that capture the rich and raw experience one could have at their camping site. Blog link sent 📨 About 4:00 PM, I was on my way traveling to the city near us to meet my friends from my college days for dinner. It was over 3 years since the last time we've seen each other. I was excited and thrilled to meet and converse with them once again. For sure the whole evening wouldn't be enough to exchange conversations with them! It's been a long time and we miss each other dearly! Just when I started to recollect our funny and unforgettable moments together, an email notification popped up on my phone. Ding!📩 My eyes widened when I checked the email. It was an email from the Campsite! I already felt the butterflies in my stomach before I could open the email. Haha. Lol! I was like a teenager who finally received a reply message from her crush .😂 Seeing the 'sender's name is already a win! Clicked opened. Read. . .  When I read it, as exaggerated as it may sound, my chest was pounding loud and slow, you know that " Slow-mo" effect on movies when the lead character is bitten by an insect or infected by a virus, and the whole virus is traveling fast to all the veins while slowly penetrating the whole body system, and then the lead man transform into something or whatever he becomes. Thrilled and enthralled 101! That's exactly what I felt! Reading. . . " We love your content! . . . you captured the essence of what its like to camp at Paharuhay. . . DM us on our FB page so we can ACCOMODATE YOUR FREE STAY. . ."  Waaaaaahhh!!! My heart's melting. Who would not be elated? I was on cloud 9! I only expected a little appreciation for my blog. Them sharing my blog on their Facebook Page would be more than enough. But I was wrong, they offered me more than I expected. A **FREE STAY** at their famous teepee! The campsite's tepees which I didn't have the chance to check personally last time because it's always fully booked with campers. Walk-in guests are prohibited to enter that part of the campsite. The campsite's management adheres to strict implementation of privacy and exclusivity of the campers! Without a doubt, I said YES and ACCEPT their offer. This is a golden opportunity for me and my family to stay at the campsite for free (free accommodation and food!) The management is so kind to arrange a schedule for us to be able to experience camping with everything free! Isn't it amazing!? This is more than a **REWARD** for me as it's not too long since I started my blogging journey. *Meanwhile*, I realized how this small achievement makes my heart extremely happy. This is rewarding!. I couldn't be more thankful to @Hive and PeakD for this blogging platform. Because of this, I was able to share my experience and the beauty of the place I went to and the things I do. Plus an invitation for free accommodation!!! Aaahh, how beautiful and kind life is. Thanks, Hive.❤ ------ By the way, I am thinking of giving a token of appreciation to this lovely campsite after my stay there, what can you suggest? I'd be happy to hear suggestions from you.🤗 *Oops, my college friends, I might share with you our get-together some other time.* ------- Takeaway: ## Heavens are truly good, it will give you your heart's desire. So dream and do good things. ----- Have a blast Hivers!
