🧘♂️⛰ On the trail and in the moment, the mountains are where I belong. I'm a UIMLA International Mountain Leader and a certified Hiking Guide, registered with the Alpine Guides Association of Lombardy. I'm also a Yoga Instructor, and I love to combine mindful movement with a deep connection to nature. For me, the mountains are pure joy, to be experienced in every way and shared with those who want to explore, listen, and be amazed. Every outing is an opportunity to rediscover balance, wonder, and... new friendships! I hope to meet you soon, fellow adventurer! 🌲🌄🧘
