Based in the DMV (DC, Maryland & Virginia) region, Igor brings a fresh perspective on the underrated trails of the East Coast , the solitude of off-the-beaten-path adventures , and what it means to see the world with curiosity and care . We explore his journey of writing a book over four years, snowy scrambles in the Adirondacks , and spur-of-the-moment trips to Greece, Costa Rica, and Colombia —all sparked by travel deals and a love for discovery. Igor also shares the wisdom he's gained from solo winter hikes , guided treks , and why he sometimes hits the trail in a button-down shirt with a magnifying glass in hand . 🎙️ Tune in for a thoughtful and inspiring look at hiking, writing, and the wonder that comes with slowing down and staying curious.
