EVERYTHING IS BETTER
IN HIKING BOOTS

Greetings Adventurers and Outdoor Enthusiasts!

I'm Gary Karapetian, the creator and founder of the exciting venture known as NO GEOGRAPHY: Hike + Kayak & Friends. The roots of this community were planted during the first lockdown when my friend Alex, a talented DJ and a maestro on the turntables, and I decided to add a splash of adventure to our lives. We invested in a couple of kayaks for local trips, and as the paddles dipped into the water, so did an idea – to connect our multicultural community through shared outdoor experiences.

 

But, behind every journey, there's a foundation of support and inspiration. I'm fortunate to embark on life's adventures with my incredible support team – my parents, Hivi and Lidia - my first big inspiration, ignited my wanderlust from a young age. As a child, I explored diverse places during family travels and accompanied my dad on his business trips throughout Europe.

 

My dad at the start of his career, worked with international tourists, unveiling to me a world of varied perspectives and communities. His experiences sparked a passion for exploration, inspiring me to see beyond the ordinary.

 

My mum, Lidia, is an experienced traveler who, before creating our biggest masterpiece – our family – circled the globe, weaving tales of adventure, collecting unique relics, and imprinting our home with the essence of her global explorations.

 

Now, as a united team, we revel in sharing our collective journeys, creating lasting memories, and cherishing the beauty of diverse experiences. Join us on this adventure, where every step is a celebration of life and love.

 

Here's to our family's shared moments and the countless trails we've walked together, like that memorable first hike with my dad (see pictures attached :)

 

Before we dive into the heart of NO GEOGRAPHY, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. To my family, relatives, close friends, and the incredible people I've met along this pathway – including those who support me and shared their good ideas and vibes – thank you for your unwavering support and enthusiastic involvement

 

NO GEOGRAPHY is not just a community; it's a tapestry woven with the threads of collective passion. Join us as we explore the outdoors, break down barriers, and create lasting connections.

 

Let's make memories, forge lasting connections, and revel in the beauty of our planet together.

 

Welcome to NO GEOGRAPHY, where every step and paddle stroke is a new chapter in the story of exploration and camaraderie.
