Hi, my name is Ioan and I would be happy to guide you through our beautiful country!
I grew up in a mountain village in Maramures, where I had the opportunity to discover the timeless traditions of mountain life. The shepherds, farmers, hunters and woodcarvers of the village were my first teachers, while the rich and beautiful natural environment served as my classroom.
As a result, I later pursued graduate studies in forest ecology and landscape design and developed a passion for history and geography.
At the same time, I continued to cultivate my love for the mountains, discovering them in all seasons through mountaineering, climbing, trekking, ski touring, mountain biking and trail running.
I was a member of the Transylvania University Sports Club (USC) between 1998 and 2002, in the mountaineering and ski mountaineering section (1999 and 2000 – 3rd place at the national ski mountaineering championship). Since 2000 I have been a professional ski instructor at the Romanian Ski School (member of the International Ski Instructors Association in Poiana Brasov) and since 2015 a mountain guide.
