Kaarel Kuslap
Since kindergarten, I have had dreams in my mind of all kinds of adventures and challenges that I want to realize in my life. Year after year, this list of dreams has grown and many dreams have become plans and some have even been successfully implemented. I first got into the mountains on a primary school class trip to the Tatra Mountains. It was love at first sight and I knew right away that I would come back here and climb higher than the class teacher had promised at the time. And so it went, and after military service, all the trips I have organized myself have been with the aim of hiking in the mountains and experiencing the power of nature.
When I travel, I remind myself, even in the most difficult moments, that we must not forget to enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds us, because even in the darkest night, there is actually a lot of enchanting things.
