Adventurer. Explorer. Foodie. Buongiorno! I’m Elena
Adventurer. Explorer. Foodie. Elena
A Torino-born adventurer. For 12 years, I traded the historic streets of Italy for Australia’s rugged coastlines, embracing the Aussie way of life.
My family’s passion for exploration ignited my spirit, leading me to become an Australian citizen, exploring the land of kangaroos and endless horizons in remote areas.
However, Italy’s allure remained irresistible and every year I was spending all the Australian winter in Italy exploring. Since 2023, I have been spending most of my time here, rediscovering my Italian roots, one trail at a time.
Hiking and adventuring have always been my forms of meditation, leading me to hidden gems, delicious cuisines, and a deep connection with both the world and myself.

A deeper look into my values
HIKING SOLO
Don’t get me wrong, I like to hike with friends and family, but hiking on my own takes the adventure to a new level.
Hiking Solo to me is: meditative, empowering, the ultimate freedom…
hike-your-own-hike
Every hike is different. Some day I can hike 35km with 2000m of elevation gain. On other days, I can hike 5km and feel tired. And it’s ok; I have come to terms with the fact that I don’t always need to be the crazy adventurer; I can be the lazy one, the paced one..at the end of the day, the journey is more important than getting to the top.
Leave NO TRACE
Sharing hikes & places on social media is always a RISK but it is a RESPONSIBILITY too.
On one side I love INSPIRING people to get outside..
On the other side, I feel part of the problem when people are trashing pristine places…
But I believe the only solution to this dilemma is thru EDUCATION. So on all my profile I strive to educate people in respecting nature while adventuring..
The 5 Ps Rule
Prior Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performances.
Adventuring on my own comes definitely with more risks. So, ASSESSING the situation and my capabilities, studying, and making informed decisions have always been my obsession.
PS: also, remember that if you see it on social media, it doesn’t mean that it’s safe to go or that you are capable of it!
Diligence, determination, persistence, tenacity
Perseverance is sitting in the middle of nowhere, crying for three hours and then picking yourself back up to keep moving forward. Perseverance is hiking day after day with blisters because you didn’t wear any blister protection. Perseverance is getting lost and walking 10km more to get back on trail.
