Maps, weather, snow, biomechanics, cooking (+ eating) – and a general preference for being outdoors.
Mountain terrain above and below the treeline. And in the air with a paraglider.

You’ll usually find Marco where the trails start to fade and plans begin to loosen. He moves at nature’s pace: early starts, long days, tired when it gets dark. Comfort, for him, is a skill — not a place.

He prefers small groups, good conversation, quiet places, and simple solutions to complicated situations. And if there’s no simple solution, one gets built — with whatever is at hand.

Travelling with him doesn’t mean everything goes according to plan. It means things work out in the end. And that the way there makes a better story than the plan itself.

Beyond the CV.

Favorite Adventure Memory

On a train in Siberia, we met a man carrying three white sacks. Curiosity got the better of us – we had to ask. Bobr, he said. A short conversation later, we were the owners of a frozen beaver: a gift from Sergej, a Russian hunter. We’re still occasionally in touch.

Fun Fact

Constantly “loses” his phone, house key, or wallet. Only to remember shortly after where he left it — or figure out how to get it back, with a little luck.
