FIND THE HIKING BUDDY


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, 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 here immediately, give me a day or two. And also, for last-minute ads, ones where are you looking for a buddy for a next few days, it is much more effective just to post in the discussion group.

    Who am I: Hiya! My name is Álvaro and I'm from Spain, 34. Long distance hiker, always ready to have some good laugh and enjoy nature together. Birdwatcher - I always carry binoculars around to check stuff in long distance. I like staying overnight in both tents or guesthouses. For me, there is no need to have a rushed pace bearing in mind the route to do in the day. Balance is always the key.

    Who am I looking for: Buddies for mainly visiting Tusheti and Svaneti. The routes I am keen on covering are Omalo-Shatili with maybe an extension to Juta.
