I have successfully completed a range of mountain treks, reaching elevations between 3,500 and 4,200 meters. My passion for adventure sports and running drives me to explore new terrains, with the Himalayas being a frequent destination during my free time. These treks not only test my physical endurance but also provide a profound connection with nature and an opportunity to push my personal limits.
I particularly enjoy trekking as a solo traveller, which allows me to immerse myself fully in the journey and encounter diverse people along the way. Each trek is an adventure, offering unique experiences and the chance to forge new connections while exploring the beauty of nature.
