The mountains have long been a part of me and my life.
I absolutely love the Carpathians — the winter trails, the mountain pastures, the crackling of the firewood in the kolyba, mornings in the tent, the atmosphere of hiking, and that special feeling when, after a tough day, the whole group gathers together for dinner and shares their experiences. For me, hiking isn’t just about the distance covered, but also about the people, the support, the adventures and the sense of freedom.
I have experience of winter hiking in the Carpathians, self-guided routes and alpine climbs with sports groups. I am developing my mountaineering skills, constantly improving my technical abilities and knowledge of mountain safety.
When I go hiking, I love good food, jokes, great company, and those moments that stay with you for a long time and warm your heart 🙂
If the team leader went above and beyond your expectations, and you enjoyed their work so much that you’d like to thank them financially, but you didn’t have any cash to hand at the end of the programme – no problem! You can transfer any amount directly to the team leader’s card via the link: transfer a tip to Olga Zapalova
