ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Gino Traboulsi

Gino is the second half running our Base Camp operations and is the architect behind our premium curated adventures. His outdoor passions span from rock climbing to surfing and everything in between. Constantly pursuing spending time outside falls in line with his belief that nature heals, and that cities fatigue. Whether it’s the mountains, forests, deserts or oceans, you’ll notice that they all slap an equally huge grin on his face. Dark chocolate will have the same effect as well.
