My memorable journey that I had, it was last December of this year where me and my friends went to the southeast side of Bangladesh known as Rangamati and it was a tremendous experience for me. When I was working around November, I was very much depressed and also burned out of all of the stress that I had. So me and my friends decided okay, let us go on a tour and we went to this place using a bus. It took around 12 hours to reach. We went there because of the exceptional beauty that it had. People call it heaven on earth by local people. So I had one problem there. It was that the guy who was sitting in front of me, he was just vomiting all the time in the bus. So it made the bus journey a bit of unpleasant but when I reached there, I had forgotten everything because of the fact that the beauty was out of the world. The place was phenomenal when you looked out of your cottage. The view of the hills, the view of the greenery, the birds chirping, all of that combined into making an experience that was mind-breaking. The food there was excellent. There were traditional cuisines served by local people and me and my friends tried some of them. Some were tasty and some were a bit not suited to a taste bus. The late tight camping that we had with our neighbors, it was amazing. We chatted for four hours straight. There were laughter all over the place and it was a big stress reliever for me. At the time I was a bit sad and a bit depressed but it helped me to regain the confidence that I need in my life because when you have these kinds of friends around you, you can do anything. And we also played some truth and dare games that really gave insights into some of our friends that we never knew. The beauty, the friends, everything combined to make a different scenario.

My memorable journey was last December when my friends and I went to the southeast side of Bangladesh, known as Rangamati, and it was a tremendous experience for me. In November, I was feeling very depressed and burned out from all the stress I had. So, my friends and I decided to go on a tour, and we traveled to this place by bus. It took around 12 hours to reach. We went there because of the exceptional beauty it had. Local people call it heaven on earth. I had one problem during the journey: the guy sitting in front of me was vomiting the entire time on the bus. This made the bus journey a bit unpleasant, but when I arrived, I forgot everything because the beauty was out of this world. The place was phenomenal; when you looked out of your cottage, the view of the hills, the greenery, and the birds chirping all combined to create an experience that was breathtaking. The food there was excellent. There were traditional cuisines served by local people, and my friends and I tried some of them. Some were tasty, while others were not suited to our taste buds. The late-night camping we had with our neighbors was amazing. We chatted for four hours straight, and there was laughter all around. It was a big stress reliever for me. At that time, I was a bit sad and depressed, but it helped me regain the confidence I needed in my life because when you have friends like these around you, you can do anything. We also played some truth and dare games that provided insights into some of our friends that we never knew. The beauty, the friends, everything combined to create a different scenario.
