Helloooo!!! I’m Miriam!
I love mountains. Climbing. Hiking. Camping.
I love swimming in mountain lakes. Playing chess on my tiny travel set. Charades at the campfire. Making coffee in front of my tent. Playing guitar at the crag. In short: adventures with lovely people in nature.
After university, I could never quite figure out what kind of job I wanted to do. Cue existential crisis. At the same time, the draw towards nature and adventure was getting stronger each year, an itch to find new places and connections. Climbing offered me a community and a gateway to beautiful nature experiences in a way I would have never imagined before.
Last year, I decided that this is what I want to dedicate my time to. Instead of escaping from my daily life into the mountain, the mountain could become my daily life. Not only do I want to spend as much time enjoying nature and adventure myself, I also want to introduce other people to that magic. It is not just about learning to climb, or being able to travel to a new country. It is about the community that you accidentally find along the way.
The team
I could never organize a trip all by myself. There are many lovely people helping and working with me. We got local climbing guides, yoga teachers and volunteers that make it a genuine community experience!
Kamal
Todgha Gorge local and climbing legend! He is an IFMGA certified mountain guide. Kamal will be our main climbing guide for our High Atlas Climbing and Yoga trip!
Nina
Nina is from the UK and a wholehearted lover of the outdoors and adventure.
She first discovered climbing at her local gym in the Netherlands and quickly fell in love with it, soon taking her skills outside onto real rock. She’s now a qualified Climbing Wall Instructor with a passion for mountaineering.
Over the past six months, Nina has been exploring the Himalayas, surrounded by beautiful mountains and boulders.
She’s visited Morocco twice before — once to spend time in the Atlas Mountains and another time to surf on the Atlantic coast — and is very excited to be part of the trip to Todgha Gorge!
Elena
Elena will be our yoga teacher for the November 2025 trip. More information on her and the yoga she teaches will follow very soon!!
