Iâm Oihane, an adventure guide who has always been drawn to the beauty of nature and the thrill of exploration.âš Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of working in the mountainsđ», and traveling from a young age only fueled that passion. My parents took me to different places, and through those experiences, I developed a deep love for discovering new landscapes, cultures, and ways of life.
That curiosity led me to study geographyđ, as I became fascinated with the natural formations that shape our world. From towering glaciers to rugged coastlines, understanding how these landscapes are formed and evolve made me appreciate them even more. But my love for exploration didnât stop at natureâI also wanted to immerse myself in different cultures. Thatâs why I chose to live in various places, learning the language, traditions, and daily life of each destination.âïž
For me, one of the best ways to experience a place is through its food.đź Tasting local flavors, learning the stories behind traditional dishes, and sharing meals with people from different backgrounds is something that brings me happiness wherever I go. Even though I live abroad now, I always stay connected to where I come from. I make sure to honor my roots and take care of the culture and values that shaped me.
Guiding on glaciers allows me to combine all these passionsânature, adventure, culture, and connection. Every day on the ice is a reminder of why I chose this path, and I wouldnât have it any other way.âïž
