The lower the lows...
Hello, everyone!
There is this text about a cycling expedition and here's one part of it:
"So, don't turn down any invitations you may get, but if you have the chance to stay with families on the way, be a good guest, which has a lot to do with trying to make a conversation, even if you don't speak the language. And be tidy. I described it as "not acting like I was staying in a hotel". A bike tour is full of ups and downs. You have to deal with tiredness. Boredom, that was the worst to me. And not having any personal space. But remember: the lower the lows, the better the highs. There are new challenges every day. And there's also the constantly changing scenery...."
I'm not sure if I've heard it properly (it's an audio extract), but assuming that I have, what is the meaning of this in bold?
Thank you very much in advance!
