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.

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
Born in Barcelona, he always knew that the city just wasn't his place to be. His life has always been connected with mountains, be it thanks to his dad or his hobbies: climbing, mountain bike, canyoning, free ride, underwater fishing etc.
He's been living in the heart of the Pyrenees for 10 years, where he works as a mountain guide (TD2), canyoning guide (TD2), and, in the wintertime, as a ski instructor (TD2) and an off-piste guide.
To be lucky enough to be passionate about his job is a privilege he's always been much aware of.
He loves being at the participants' side as they evolve in adventure sports and is always thinking about new funny challenges he could offer them.
