I\u2019<\/strong>m Dimitris Despiniadis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a Mountain Leader <\/b><\/strong>(trained in the UK and Greece) <\/b><\/strong>and a Wilderness First Responder<\/b><\/strong> (trained in Norway by NOLS).<\/p>\n

I was born in Thessaloniki, Greece.<\/p>\n

 From a young age I had an unconditional love for the natural world and Being Outside<\/b><\/strong> in the mountains has been a big part of my lifestyle ever since. My passion for travel and exploration brought me to special places with exceptional ethnological interest, such as the Amazon rainforest, the Tibetan plateau and the holy rivers of India.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

During the last 20 years I planned and led numerous trekking expeditions ( some exploratory ) in Chile<\/b><\/strong>, Peru, Ecuado<\/b><\/strong>r<\/b><\/strong>, Argentina, Nepal, India<\/b><\/strong>, <\/b><\/strong>Iceland<\/b><\/strong>, Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Wales, Spain, France, Jordan and my home country (Greece)<\/b><\/strong>.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/b><\/strong> I particularly love introducing people to the outdoors and helping them have fun and achieve their goals in the mountains by arranging unique custom-made itineraries that build upon previous experience.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a SALEWA <\/b><\/strong>Greece <\/b><\/strong>sponsored athlete for the last 6 years and prior to that used to be for The North Face<\/b><\/strong> for 3,5 years.<\/p>\n

 <\/b><\/strong> <\/b><\/strong>Recent personal trips that stand out are:<\/p>\n
