Moshe
Mountain guide & C.E.O.
(Crazy Enthusiastic Organizer)
Born and raised in Brussels, Belgium, he’s been living in Barcelona since 2008. Hard to believe, but he used to be this typical city dweller who saw no point in wandering about in the woods just for the sake of it. Why would you go in the mountain in summertime? You can’t even ski! That was until he discovered what it was actually like to enjoy nature, to hike in the open air and to bathe in freezing cold rivers.
​
After 15 years working in the fashion industry, he gave his career a turnaround to organise his life according to his passions: being in nature and connecting people from different cultures and backgrounds.
​
Moshe is now a mountain guide, member of the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides (AEGM) and the founder of Yepalo.

Martí
Mountain guide & project manager
“Mountains are not stadium where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are my cathedrals where I practice my religion”. - Anatoli Boukreev
This quote sums up Marti's philosophy. Born in Sant Cugat del Vallès, near Barcelona, he got to connect with nature in the Pyrenees, where he used to spend his holidays as a child. After studying and working as a biochemist, he turned his passion for the mountains into his lifestyle. He’s now a mountain guide, member of the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides (AEGM), and an environmental educator.​
​
You’ll probably find him in nature with shirt and a cap on, one eye on the path and the other looking for animals, rocks, plants, flowers, and stories to tell.

Néstor
Mountain Guide
Born and raised in Barcelona, but his true home has always been among the mountains. From a young age, he's been hiking and skiing, and at 12, he began building his deep connection with nature through the Esplai, a youth program similar to scouts.
At 17, he reached the summit of Pica d’Estats and knew then that the mountains were his place. He trained as a Mountain guide and has also completed courses in canyoning and kayaking.
He's also a bassist in Bossonaya, a music group that channels his energy and creativity. He brings that same passion for adventure and sharing unique experiences to every hike.
With Néstor as your guide at Yepalo, you’ll explore stunning landscapes with good vibes, high energy, and a spirit of adventure.

Annabel
Yoga instructor &
Non Violent Communication trainer
A former global communication director of a multinational, Annabel decided, after years of undergoing a whole lot of stress, to change her life and to set her wellbeing, both physical and emotional, as her #1 priority.
She started learning sustainable tools to communicate with care and became a certified yoga and meditation instructor, as well as a coach. Oh, and after living in Spain for over 2o years, she eventually managed to substitute butter for olive oil... as part of her new healthy habits, certainly!
All kidding aside, she's now specialized and certified in NVC (Nonviolent Communication) techniques, that she applies to stress and conflict management, for both individuals and companies, and is the founder of Happy Daystress.

Bernat
Canyoning, Via Ferrata, Ski & Mountain guide
