Real Person

On weekends and in the wee hours of the morning or night Jiaying can be found on a mountain nearby with her trail running pack and minimalist running shoes. She’s passionate about mountain sports like rogaining, cross country skiing, ultra distance trail running and rock-climbing. She would rather a tent over a 5-star hotel any day of the week.

But – don’t be afraid to email her at any time. As long as she has reception she will answer you at the top of the next hill.
