People sometimes ask me if they could join my group or "tour". That's understandable. Hiking alone is not for everybody, it's more dangerous and ... well... lonely. But I am happy if I make it to Georgia for a few weeks in summer and always have a group. So, let's try something. If you are looking for a trekking partner, please fill in the form below and I will post yours ad here. Other visitors will then be able to contact you through the contact form. Just keep in mind your ad won´t appear immediately, no need to resubmit the form, just give me a day or two :)

I like meeting new people from all over the world so I am hoping to join an organised group hike.

Let me know if anyone would like to join!
Who am I: Hi Trekking-friends, I'm Nora (27) from germany, currently living in Georgia for a volunteering programme. I'll be free in june and eager to explore all kind of hiking adventures.
