Biografische Anmerkung zu den Verfassern
Nike and Jacint met many years ago as they both travelled into the unknown to build a new life in a different country. It wasn't long before they became inseparable. Travelling quickly emerged as their favourite activity and now wherever they go they try to find the best trails. They would love to share their passion for walking with others.
Nike went to journalism school and Jacint is a keen photographer. They moved from London to Surrey, where they can enjoy the countryside and hills.
