A word from your guide

Hi, I'm Ludo, and except for January in the mountains, you'll always find me by the ocean or in the woods! I love teaching and learning, especially when it comes to fall, woodworking, metalworking, and low-tech projects. I have a surf spot just a 10-minute bike ride from the workshop—you can check out the crêperie right next door if you head to the water after we meet.

Description of your future experience

Part of staying safe in the mountains is keeping your gear sharp. It’s convenient to hand your gear over to the pros, but there are at least two downsides: it’s expensive, and it ties up your gear when you’d rather be out in the mountains. In 2 hours, I’ll teach you how to properly sharpen your ice axes and crampons, and in an additional 1.5 hours, how to sharpen your ice screws (which is a bit more technical). I’ll also share gear recommendations and tips and tricks for recovering your gear after run-ins with rocks. Note that I’m recommended by Petzl for sharpening this equipment.

The app I've been waiting for for years.

"I'm speechless. This is the app I've always dreamed of having! A way to meet people and have unique experiences. I've already done 2 experiences: a bivouac at 2000m altitude + a tasting in Burgundy. It was incredible."

“Finally, an app for travelers who hate being tourists! Meet People is like having a local friend in every city. Thanks to the app, I met passionate local guides who showed me hidden gems, secret restaurants, and shared stories no guidebook ever would. The experience is seamless, and the 'matches' are thoughtfully designed. It's an intelligent blend of technology and genuine human connection, perfect for those who want to travel differently.”
