About me and my hiking experience

My name is Syuzanna Galstyan, and I come from the fascinating country of Armenia, although I now live in Berlin. In 2014, I decided to broaden my horizons and moved to Germany to pursue my Master's degree. This decision marked a turning point in my life, bringing not only academic challenges but also personal and professional growth.

Professionally, I work in the field of political education, with a particular focus on Eastern Europe, which has given me the opportunity to travel frequently to Armenia. These trips are far more than just professional commitments to me – they are a source of inspiration, as it was during these visits that I discovered my passion for hiking. The mountains of Armenia have not only changed me physically but have also transformed me internally.

For me, hiking has become a journey of self-discovery. It is an adventure that connects me with nature and myself, challenging me while also filling me with peace and balance. Every peak I reach symbolizes life itself – endurance, patience, and the path to a goal. These experiences have not only opened new perspectives on Armenia for me, but they have also introduced me to wonderful people who inspire me and give me strength in my daily life.

As part of my professional activities, I have been organizing study trips to Armenia for several years. Additionally, I am actively working to raise awareness of Armenia worldwide, utilizing digital channels such as social media alongside direct engagement through real-world events and interactions. My goal is to introduce Armenia's ancient history, rich cultural heritage, natural beauty, and unique experiences, engaging a global audience in diverse and meaningful ways. The growing interest from my international community and my desire to introduce Armenia to a wider audience have inspired me to develop a variety of tailored travel offers.

With over 10 years of experience as a project manager, during which I have organized international conferences, training sessions, and study trips, I bring a wealth of experience to the planning and execution of travel programs. When designing study and hiking trips, I pay attention to every detail, ensuring that my travelers feel comfortable and safe throughout their journey.

In Armenia, I work closely with a team of certified mountain and cultural guides who make every trip an unforgettable experience. We offer our trips in English, Russian, and German, depending on the language preferences of our travelers.
