About
About me
I grew up in Almaty looking up at the peaks and never going near them. Four years ago a friend took me up to a turquoise lake for a day, and I have not spent a weekend indoors since. Now every Saturday I take a bus, a cable car or my own two feet somewhere above the city.
Each Friday I write one post about a trip: the lake, the orchard, the cable car, a picnic by the river. What I sell is what makes the next weekend easy to plan: route cards, a packing list, a year planner, an ebook and two video courses.
Plan a Mountain Weekend was clear and easy to follow. I used what I learned the same week.
