SURVIVAL AND ADVENTURE

          IT ALL STARTED IN 2000 AS A BOLD IDEA OF 3 ENTHUZIASTIC YOUNG MEN FAR TO STUBBORN TO COMMIT TO A 9 TO 5 KIND OF LIFE .

        ALPIN EXPRESS WAS BORN IN A SMALL MOUNTAIN TOWN IN BUCOVINA WRIGHT AT THE BORDER WITH TRANSILVANIA AND THE WHOLE POINT WAS TO LIVE BY “THE OLD WAYS”, AS FREE AND WILD AS POSSIBLE .

THE OLD WAYS … ?!

        THERE WERE TIMES WHEN MEN  WERE TREASURED FOR THEIR HONOUR AND THEIR SOUL, THAT WAS THE ONLY SIMPLE RULE AND PEOPLE LIVED BY IT. AND NOT SO LONG AGO … OUR GREAT GRANDFATHER DID .

"THOSE WOODS ARE MY MOTHER AND MY BROTHER, BUT NONE ALIKE TO OTHER" - GAVRIL TARANU

        AND TRUE IT WAS. BY THE TIMES COMMUNIST RAIDS PURSUITED MY ELDERS AND ALL THOSE WHO REFUSED TO OBEY, THEY WORE HIDING IN THE THICK AND TREACHEROUS  WILDERNESS, WALKING WITH THEIR LEATHER SHOES TURNED BACKWARDS. AND SO THEY DID FOR 20 LONG YEARS. THEY KNEW HOW TO READ THE SIGNS, AND SO NATURE WAS GOOD TO THEM.  SHE GAVE THEM SHELTER, FOOD AND WATER AND THAT IS HOW THEY SURVIVED -30 DEGREES COLD WINTERS WITHOUT FIRE, LONG WET AUTUMNS, BLOSSOMING SPRINGS AND SWIFT SUMMERS .

        SOME OF THAT TEACHINGS ARE AT REST AS MY GREAT GRAND FATHER IN '98, BUT SOME WERE PAST ON TO THOSE WHO WERE INTERESTED .

        AND SO, AFTER 2 YEARS, WE THOUGHT THAT IT IS TIME FOR PEOPLE TO ACCNOWLEDGE  THEIR PAST AND LEARN FROM IT .

          SINCE THEN YEARS HAD PAST, FULL OF EXPERIENCES WHICH HAD STRENGHTENED OUR BODY AND PURIFIED OUR  SOUL .

 "May the way upon your destiny be, as  adventurous and long  as life itself ."

WELCOME ,
