About us

The founders and creators of this blog since 2018 are Kerstin and Eyal. We are two active and close-knit individuals, having spent nearly 40 years together. Our purpose with this blog is to inspire people, regardless of age, to stay active, make the most of their time and discover new places.

We primarily travel and hike in Europe. Our explorations move at a relaxing pace, as we prefer to process our impressions in front of a beautiful view rather than rushing on.

 

Our Slow Travel Philosophy and Daily Hiking Routine

Hiking is a central part of our lives. We hike every day, all year round, because it is enjoyable. We hike with a deep respect for both nature and others. When we travel, we love to seek out regional food specialities and stay at authentic places run by local, passionate people.

 

Our Commitment to 100% Original and Ad-Free Hiking Content

We only share what we have experienced firsthand. To us, authentic content is essential.

Personal experience: We have personally completed every hike we write about.

Digital maps: For most of our hiking reports, we include a link to our profile on Wikiloc. The maps are our own GPS recordings from the field.

Photos and text: We have taken all the photographs and write all material ourselves. We do not use AI-generated text or images.

Ad-free: To ensure our readers can enjoy the blog posts without distractions, our blog is completely free of advertisements.
