Joanna

Mountain Leader- Kraków, Poland

Certificates

UIMLA 

I am deeply passionate about the mountains.
In 199 I started working as a mountain guide, in the beautiful Tatra Mountains. But my relationship with this terrain started much earlier, when I was a child. Already at 3 years old, I climbed my first mountain: a stunning 400 meters!
From then on, I kept constantly participating in mountain adventures. I gained in this way both experience and professionalism. I am also a certified international mountain leader (UIMLA).
I practiced hiking and climbing not only in the Tatras, but alto in the Alps, Andes, Dolomites, Caucassian Mountains, Himalayas and in the lower European mountains. Actually, the more I know about the mountains, the more humble I feel towards them. While hiking, climbing and ski touring, I admire their majesty, beauty and ruthlessness.
I used to be an engineer and a chemist, but neither working in corporations nor teaching in a school were my dreams. Now that I work in the mountains, I feel happy, following my passion.
If you like to go to the mountains, you are for sure looking for adventures. But you should know that it's best to be safe, and this is a big advantage of going with a mountain leader.
