About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Tourism
Occupation	Freelance Outdoor Instructor/ Adventure guide
Location	Aviemore/Bilbao, Scotland/ Pais Vasco, Spain
Introduction	As a kiddo I spend most of my time in the fresh air. I set off on solo camping ventures since the age of 6, grew up with road biking, ice skating & horses. During my tourist management studies, I landed in Austria & here my true passion for the mountains began. I moved to Paznaun which became the base for my biggest passion, skiing. I worked in Schischule Kappl & in summer as an outdoor instructor in Austria, Italy & France. For a change I tried a season in Meribel but I missed wilderness. I love wild & remote places & moved to Scotland, exceptional for its outstanding natural beauty. I lived there for 10 years & made it my base as a freelance adventure guide, outdoor instructor & coach. Recently I moved to Bilbao to continue my work in the outdoors. I still float all over the world as I love exploring & working in new places, especially remote ones. I have a great passion for discovering other cultures & their languages but my greatest adventures are the ones on which I am inspired by the people I meet during my journeys, my work, generally throughout my life & to inspire others with my happiness & passion for the outdoors.
Interests	Any aspect of Skiing, General Mountaineering, Alpinism, Sport climbing, Mountain biking, Canoeiing and Sea Kayaking, Solo adventures and spending time in remote places with my closest friends, Surfing, Horse Riding, Exploring Remote Places and Other Cultures, Good Coffee, Chilling out, Red Wine, Music, Good Food, and Spending Quality Time with my all the people that I love throuhg and through.
Favorite Music	To much to mention...depends on what mood I am in. Bit of a rock chick I think.
Favorite Books	'Space below my feet' by Gwen Moffat...given to me to my best climbing mate that died in a climbing accident on the Grepon in 2006. He inspired me to continue following my dreams and not to give up when I was seriously about to drop everything I had lived for.
