Message from your Co-host – Sophie 
Hi,
My name is Sophie, and I’m a hiking enthusiast fortunate enough to have
trekked through Patagonia, Peru, Tanzania, and Nepal, yet my true
playground has always been closer to home: the mountains of Austria and
Germany, where I’m from.
Living in Munich, a journey through Pakistan in 2025 left a lasting impression
on me. The dramatic landscapes and the warmth of the people inspired me
to bring a community of like-minded adventurers together to experience the
country the way I did, through breathtaking topography, genuine encounters,
and unforgettable moments in the mountains.
Hoping to see you soon!

Sophie during her adventure to Pakistan in Autumn 2025
