Your custom long Trek
🔎 DESCRIPTION: Have you been dreaming of a destination for a while now, but are struggling to envision a well-balanced itinerary and all the logistics involved? I offer my services to accompany you on the ground, but also, and most importantly, to manage the planning of each stage by creating a complete, tailor-made roadbook that adapts to your desires: venturing off the beaten path? minimizing elevation gain? having a picnic by a high-altitude lake on the third day? I'll take care of everything, from the necessary equipment to the route itself, adapting to your criteria and the local area, and guaranteeing you a safe and memorable adventure. Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your project. 😊
