Welcome to Into the hike blog!
Hi, I’m Simona, the creator of this blog. While I grew up in the relatively flat countryside of Lithuania, I am truly and madly in love with mountains. Most of my holidays are spent hiking in amazing places in Europe or further abroad and I am no stranger to smelling a bit funky after a long hiking day 🙂
This blog is my take-back to the community gesture to all the other hikers who provided me with ins and outs of hikes they did. Here you can find all the practicalities of hikes I’ve done and I hope it inspires you to go outside as well.
