About me! I am Laura from Austria, 25 years old and an absolute mountain lover! I enjoy the beauty of nature a lot and love to explore new places! I live close to the border to Switzerland, straight in front of the stunning Alpstein. I already hiked a lot of mountains from the Alpstein, which makes it more comfortable for you, when I now some paths already. I am a professional videographer, which leads to some nice memorial footage from our trips! I rather take a few stops to enjoy the moment and take some pictures, than to hurry from one peak to the next one. For me it is important, that everyone hikes in its own tempo and is responsible for himself! I DO NOT TAKE THE RESPONSE FOR ANYBODYS SAFETY! Even though I am experienced in the mountains, it is important to always take care about our steps. ALSO good hiking equipment is required! Such as PROFESSIONAL HIKING BOOTS, walking sticks, backpack, sleeping bag and enough water!
