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.
