Val Ismaili ~ Thru-Hiking, Human Kindness & Trail Development
Manage episode 382788038 series 3440398
Join us today as we journey to Armenia & Georgia with Val to explore his world of Thru-Hiking, Human Kindness & Trail Development.
Since 2017, Val has dedicated his free time to long distance thru-hiking & rock climbing in Armenia, Georgia & Kyrgyzstan ~ helping to map, build & advocate for trail development. Whether being the first person to complete the 1,500km Transcaucasian Trail (because it didn't "exist" yet), completing an 800km traverse of the Kyrgyz Tien Shan in order to create an open-sourced long-distance route or developing new rock climbing routes on the cliffs of Dilijan in Armenia... Val invites us into his world of what it takes to create new routes for public exploration.
Join us today for stories of bush whacking, collaboration, mapping, human kindness, tourism & so much more as we explore how Val is turning his recreation into re~creation for the world.
