Since nothing unites people better more than common hatred or common suffering, we figured out that the only way we could have unite this people, with some positive suffering, was by going on hikes. On the positive side, hikes are a great opportunity to go outdoors, touch some grass, breathe some fresh air, swim, hug trees, sit at the edge of a cliff, get sunkissed… Make sure you look out for them, usually held on the last Saturday of every month.
