'Every mistake can teach us something', Anunay Sood once said
Anunay Sood once spoke to News18 about life and adventures, and spoke about a travel mishap he faced in Spiti valley as a new traveller. The influencer had said, "In my early days of exploring Spiti as a new traveller, I had a little adventure that taught me a big lesson. While wandering in the beautiful mountains, I made a mistake and got lost. I took the wrong path and ended up facing a tricky situation – I had to cross a really cold river. Crossing the icy river was tough, both physically and mentally. Instead of getting upset, I saw it as a chance to learn something new. The cold river crossing taught me how important it is to remember the way when coming down the mountains. This experience turned out to be a good thing. It made me more aware and respectful of the challenges of hiking in the mountains. After that day, I always made sure to remember the way I went up, making my journey down safer and more enjoyable. Every mistake can teach us something, and this adventure in Spiti helped me become a better and wiser traveller."
