The qualities and rules of a true guide 🔝
⠀
A professional must have a number of truly leadership qualities, for sometimes the outcome of a hike depends on the behavior and character of the guide.
First, the guide must be cool and mentally balanced. No jerking, shouting, panicking.
⠀
Secondly the guide must be physically sturdy, strong and ready to carry the client's things and even him.
⠀
Thirdly, the guide must have a stock of knowledge, which we mentioned above. Providing assistance, understanding the area, the route. It is also important to study the mountains themselves, so as not to go silently for the whole trek, but to pass on knowledge, facts, and history to the companions.
⠀
In addition to professional qualities, the mountains also have their own set of laws, which is better not to violate. And since the guide takes responsibility for the life of the man, he knows these laws by heart and before each trek necessarily lists them to the client.
⠀
A mountain guide is not an easy profession, but such people help tourists to get acquainted with the nature correctly, warn them against all its dangers, most likely, even save many lives.

Mistakes of beginner hikers
⠀
Even the most experienced hiker once had his first time 😃. And everyone had mistakes, which now seem ridiculous, but before led to trouble. Then experience has already helped to avoid such shortcomings. So it's better to anticipate some situations so that you don't repeat them.
⠀
1. Do not know how to navigate
This skill in camping life is one of the key. Without learning to read maps, use a compass, a navigator, to determine the sides of the world by the sun, it is better not to get away from civilization.
⠀
2. Overloading the backpack
Nobody will be surprised to see that part of the group goes with a feasible burden, and someone alone, usually a newcomer, can hardly move under the weight. This happens when the list of items illiterate, necessary in everyday life things are not necessarily useful in the hike. To avoid overload, you need to make a list of the contents of the backpack in advance. Experienced hikers know what you can "save" weight on.
⠀
3. negligent attitude to the weather forecast
The vagaries of nature should be treated with respect, because you still have to reckon with them. It is better to follow the weather forecast from reputable sources. It is necessary to dress according to the situation. In any case it will be nice to have a fleece layer. It will help to keep warm and avoid hypothermia. If you have to wade through many rivers, it is better to pack membrane trekking socks. Even if your feet get wet, they will not be cold.
⠀
4. Not taking care of your feet.
This part of the body is the most stressed in hiking. Any damage to the lower extremities leads to failure of the route. To avoid this, it is worth following some rules:
- choose well-worn shoes of the right size;
- take socks from synthetic to warm woolen;
- and apply a band-aid at the slightest discomfort. Spending a few minutes on a hike can help you avoid blisters or blue nails.

WHAT TO BRING ON THE BOAT?
⠀
When going on a yacht trip, you need to understand that the interior space on the yacht is limited and any occupied space affects comfort and safety. All free space on the yacht is intelligently allocated for shelves and small storage lockers. So you should take those things that can be easily folded and rolled up.
⠀
~ A bag for the yacht
For the boat is more suitable a soft bag that can be folded and stowed in the closet in the cabin. If you take a plastic suitcase, it will take up space on the yacht, obstructing the passage, access to the shelves and exit the cabin.
⠀
~ Shoes for the boat.
A yacht requires lightweight shoes or slippers, preferably with light-colored soles that will not leave marks on the deck. For going ashore you can take any other comfortable shoes.
⠀
~ Clothing for the yacht
For a trip on the yacht take comfortable clothes that do not restrict movement. T-shirt with short and long sleeves, shorts, swimming trunks or bathing suit, light pants, knitted sweater, fleece, light shirt with long sleeves. Regardless of the season on the yacht must take waterproof jacket, preferably complete with pants. Yacht vests are very practical, they are a good protection against fresh winds at sea.
It should be noted that the clothes that you wear during the boat trips can get wet in the salt water. Therefore, it is recommended to take spare clothes for the shore leave.
⠀
~ First aid kit and hygiene products for the boat
Be sure to take a personal first aid kit with medication with you. We recommend adding anti-seasickness medication, plasters, ointment for burns and sprains.
⠀
~ Useful things for the boat
We recommend you buy a special case - a waterproof cover for cell phones so that your phone would not be damaged by salty water while sailing on the yacht, and a battery charger.
⠀
~ Required attributes for traveling on the yacht - sunglasses, cap, sunscreen and yacht gloves.

10 reasons to go to the mountains
⠀
1. To enjoy nature. See the boundless fields, mountains, beautiful lakes. You will admire to the core.
⠀
2. "Disconnect from the city. No calls, messages or Internet. To be out of touch and surrounded by nature. Along the route there will be only a few points where you can call and say hello to your loved ones.
⠀
3. Take the best photos of yourself. The mountain scenery is perfect for photos. You'll get masterpiece pictures that you'll revisit over and over again.
⠀
4. Find good friends and acquaintances. The best people go to the mountains - proven. You will meet interesting people who can become new friends. If you do not have a soul mate, a hike in the mountains is a great reason to get to know each other. Thanks to the mountains have connected many hearts that have created strong families and had children.
⠀
5. Inspiration. After visiting the mountain you will have many creative ideas. Our tourists write poems, draw pictures, create photo exhibitions, record songs. Mountains inspire.
⠀
6. Answering important questions. In the humdrum of city life, we often have questions that we can't find answers to. The mountain will magically help and provide answers.
⠀
7. Strengthen your body. A hike is better than any fitness gym. You train your body by hiking in the mountains every day. Hiking will bring you joy and health benefits.
⠀
8. Drink natural water. The water in the mountains is very clean. You can drink from almost every river and lake. The water is different and very tasty.
⠀
9. Test yourself. You have to make up your mind to go camping. It is difficult to leave the comforts and habits of the city for the mountains. It is a struggle with oneself, a test of oneself, a cleansing of the mind, a kind of rebirth that is remembered forever. The mountains make you feel like a Hero.
⠀
10. To improve your English. There are many foreigners on our routes. You will communicate with people from other countries and cultures who have come to see the beauty of the mountains.

What to look for when choosing hiking clothes?
⠀
Hiking clothes should always be adapted to the time of year in which we go to the mountains. However, regardless of the weather, the clothing must be:
Breathable and conduct sweat well to the outside,
Wear-resistant (made of high quality materials), Several layers of clothing. This means that we always take two or three layers of clothes in the mountains, even if the weather at this time is good - we keep warm things in the backpack,
Comfortable - it should not restrict the movement, but also should not be too loose,
Practical - on jackets, jackets and pants there should be a lot of pockets and zippers.
The most important element of the mountain outfit is always the shoes. It must be comfortable, have a deep tread and good traction. Do not look for universal models suitable for any season, in the pursuit of economy, you can ruin the hike. Summer season and winter are completely different conditions, and this must be taken into account.

How to choose your guide?
⠀
We have always wondered how our tourists choose Voca as their guide! What are the criteria?
The answers are very different...
- license
- the variety of excursions offered and interesting descriptions
- professional website
- reviews of other tourists
⠀
How to choose YOUR guide?
⠀
The most important thing for us:
- The personality of the guide himself, i.e. how interesting he is.
- how varied is his range of excursions and how interesting and competent is the description of his excursions.
- education of the guide and his license (if, of course, there is licensing in your chosen country) - for us, as a professional tourist, a very important point.
- an important role is played, of course, personal contact (by correspondence or otherwise), because it reduces the risk that your meeting will not disappoint.
- Of course, a strong factor is feedback from other people! And both good and bad reviews, and draw your own conclusions, because there is a human factor everywhere and that too is known. Bad reviews are not always adequate (you can feel it in the tone written), and good reviews, on the contrary, are not always true.
- Appearance is rather a secondary factor, but nevertheless.
That's probably all.

Why go camping? 🤔
⠀
One of the main and most common purposes of a camping trip is a change of scenery. No matter where you live, sooner or later the scenery gets boring or your eyes get so used to it that you stop noticing its uniqueness and beauty.
The purpose of a hike can be to broaden your horizons.
On every trip we can see the most beautiful corners of nature 🌅 which can often only be accessed on foot 🚶🏻‍♂️.
As a goal you can consider communication 🗣 because you will meet a lot of interesting people 🤝 some of whom can become your buddies, friends, and someone even a life partner 😊 in the future.
The purpose of the hike can be a test of strength and endurance 😉. You can test a new backpack, boots, an old friend or yourself. Well, of course, every hike is, first of all, active recreation 🤸‍♀️🪂🚴🧗‍♀️.
Rest from the bustle of the city, painful problems, unnecessary junk in your head and apartment.
If you want to discover a new world and look at everything with different eyes - go ahead, book your trip today!

Winter is a great time for recreation. The most common leisure activity is winter hiking.
⠀
The most common type of winter tourism is recreation in the mountains. People come here not only to ski⛷, snowboard🏂, sled 🛷 and tubing, but also to enjoy the stunning scenery 🌌🌄 and breathe the clean mountain air 🏔
⠀
The most popular and developed ski resorts are in Europe, where in addition to skiing on the snowy slopes you can perfectly relax in all kinds of entertainment complexes.
⠀
One of this type of tourism also includes winter mountaineering 🧗‍♂️, which not only trains and strengthens the body, but also allows people to test their strength of character 💪.
In winter, quite a few people go on skiing trips, which can last from one day to several weeks with overnight stays in the wilderness at special staging posts, and sometimes just in tents.
⠀
What's your choice?
