Visit http://companionhikes.ca/journeys.html Over the past 15 years, we found that planning our European vacations and trying to be frugal about it, was very time consuming. We figured why not meet up with like minded travelers and give them access to our extensive research and experience. Frank wandered from The Netherlands to Canada 45 years ago. He is a sailor, scout leader, horticulturalist an

d a member of the Canadian Alpine Club. Philomena is a sailor and teaches Tia-Chi. We are both students of geology. Feel comfortable traveling with us as we speak English, Dutch, German, Cantonese, limited French and I would also love to improve my Italian or any other language. Upcoming hikes at http://companionhikes.ca/about-us.html and at https://www.outdooractive.com/en/autor/frank-roelofsen/110458983/

My camping and rifugio trip is happening on September 3rd to October 4th. Ahh.....the freedom of just a few reservations for the rifugios and a flexible schedule. I have to confess that towards the end of September I will be staying in an apartment.
My first tour is a 3 day Geological hike staying in a couple of rifugios along the way. Detail are on my website.

My philosophy is that when armed with some basic knowledge of natural phenomena we will be more impressed with our surroundings which intensifies our travel experience.
Take clouds for instance; Last month the World Meteorological Organization completed its International cloud atlas. https://www.wmocloudatlas.org/home.html
Many serious hikers are good at reading the skies and appreciate what information clouds convey as a weather forecasting tool. Not only is it practical but cloud gazing itself is beautiful.
