Crossing The Caucasus
Discovering kindness in a mountain range divided by politics.
Crossing The Alps
A backpacking and mountaineering traverse of the Alps from Slovenia to Monaco. My journey linked hiking trails, scrambles, via ferratas and climbing routes. 61 days, 1900km in distance and over 125,000m of ascent.
