What is your project?

Our hiking project is designed to bring together a diverse group of people who share a common interest in hiking and outdoor activities. We welcome everyone, from local residents to international visitors, with a special focus on Erasmus students seeking to explore the Italian countryside. However, you don't have to be a student to join—anyone with a love for hiking is encouraged to participate! 

How it works?

We organize regular hikes to various trails located within an hour’s drive from Rome. Each hike is carefully planned and listed on our website, where you'll find all the details you need: the trail route, the difficulty level, and any materials or equipment you'll need to bring along.

• Transportation: We will reach the hiking locations by car, with carpooling as the preferred method. This not only makes the trips more affordable but also reduces our environmental impact. Participants will share the cost of petrol and any highway tolls.

• Cost: The hikes themselves are free of charge. The only expenses participants need to cover are the shared costs of transportation (fuel and tolls).

• Language: Given the international nature of our group, English will be the primary language spoken during the hikes. This ensures that everyone, regardless of their native language, can communicate effectively and enjoy the experience.

What is the target audience?

Our primary target audience is Erasmus students and other international residents in Rome who are eager to explore the local environment and meet new people. However, we welcome anyone with an interest in hiking, regardless of their background or experience level. The only prerequisite is a love for outdoor adventures and a willingness to participate in group activities.

Why Telegram?

We use Telegram because it prioritizes privacy and security, ensuring a safe and user-friendly experience. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Telegram doesn’t require users to exchange phone numbers. Instead, you can communicate using unique usernames, which means your personal phone number remains private. This feature adds an extra layer of security, as it prevents unwanted contacts or spam.

By using Telegram, you have full control over who can reach out to you, making it a perfect platform for maintaining confidentiality and fostering secure interactions.
