We are the Chechik family; we live in England and we enjoy travelling.
We like mountaineering, kayaking, hiking, camping, skiing. We usually travel on foot and often with a tent in the backpack. Our website will tell you about the places we've visited. We will show you our pictures and share trip reports. Our site is under development. We hope to update it often provided we find strength and time.
