Andrus Aus<\/h2>\n

Founder & guide<\/p>\n

\n

Andrus is a founding member of HikingEstonia and its driving force since the end of 2018. He has had an interest in nature and hiking since he was a child. He started hiking more seriously in 2005 and to date he has traveled and hiked in more than 60 countries around the world. He considers his greatest achievements as a hiker to be conquering several high mountains, including Elbrus, Kilimanjaro, Damavand, Iliniza Norte, Iliniza Sur, Sincholagua, Jbel Toubkal, etc.<\/p>\n

From 2011 to 2018, Andrus lived on the island of Ibiza in Spain and was the first Estonian to hike around the islands of Ibiza, Formentera and Menorca, which are located in the Balearic archipelago, on foot, by bike and by kayak.<\/p>\n

In the winter of 2021, he was the first Estonian to hike around the islands of La Gomera and El Hierro, which are located in Africa, in the Canary archipelago.<\/p>\n

In November 2021, Andrus hiked the Camino de Santiago in Portugal for 21 days, covering 700km!<\/p>\n

In the winter of 2023, Andrus became the first Estonian to hike through all 8 Canary Islands in 28 days, covering a total of 550 km.<\/p>\n

Andrus organizes hikes in different styles in his homeland, using canoes, snowshoes, push sleds, skates, bicycles, on foot and also with dogs.<\/p>\n

His specialities are private hikes and tours for companies and for foreign visitors in English, as well as longer multi-day treks and hikes in Estonia and hikes abroad in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and beyond.<\/p>\n

I also do private tours by minibus across Estonia and the Baltics.<\/p>\n

Working on environmental issues is very close to his heart and every year he organizes the Let’s Do It Day and World Cleanup Day. In 2018, Andrus also organized World Cleanup Day on the island of Ibiza.<\/p>\n

As a big animal lover, he has been organizing pug gatherings since 2019.<\/p>\n

His pug and hiking dog Botsu was the mascot of HikingEstonia \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I speak Estonian, Russian, Finnish, English and Spanish.<\/p>\n

Very supportive and professional tour guide. Everything was very well organized and the trip passed in a positive mood.<\/p>\n

Trekking leader Andrus will do everything to bring the whole group to the finish line with a brisk step and smiling faces!<\/p>\n

With the cool hiking guide Andrus and a great group, the hike passed unnoticed. Andrus’s backpack was bottomless.<\/p>\n

Andrus takes you to very nice natural places and also makes sure that you learn something new and exciting every time – also about those places that you think you already know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Guide<\/p>\n

I was born and raised in the countryside, and I have had a slight attraction to nature all my life.<\/p>\n

I discovered HikingEstonia in 2019, and from that moment I still try to hang out with these great people about once a month.<\/p>\n

Hiking with a group is interesting because you meet different people outside your circle of acquaintances. This way of hiking is disciplining, because if you were hiking alone in the forest, you wouldn’t take such long trips; you can also discover new cool places to go back to later.<\/p>\n

In 2021, an addition came to my family, so at the moment I am also getting used to a new profession that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n

But the main thing: movement is healthy!<\/p>\n

Go to nature!<\/p>\n
