About

Andrej was born in Macedonia, a country blessed with a mountainous landscape but lacking long-distance trails until recently.
He was an average hiker until he became hooked on multi-day hikes in 2015. On the trail, he prefers wild camping and seeks out routes that offer solitude and trail diversity. During his recent southbound thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, he earned the trail name “OnePole” because he always hikes with just one trekking pole.

He also loves exploring new, unknown tracks and is a initiator in the creation of the new Sammiana – Macedonian Endless Trail.
