As an outdoor enthusiast, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of sharing outdoor activities with your children. My daughter Stefania and I have been rock climbing, hiking, camping, and exploring the great outdoors together since she was old enough to walk. These experiences have not only created unforgettable memories, but they have also had a profound impact on our personal growth and relationship.


As a writer and blogger, I often find myself lost in the world of words and ideas. Spending time outdoors with Stefania allows me to disconnect from the virtual world and reconnect with nature. The fresh air, natural beauty, and physical activity are not only good for our bodies but also for our minds. Being in nature has a way of rejuvenating and inspiring us, providing us with a fresh perspective on life.


Sharing these experiences with Stefania has also taught me valuable lessons about

myself as a parent and as a person. It has taught me the importance of patience, trust, and communication. Rock climbing, for example, requires a high level of trust between partners, and it has allowed us to develop a deeper level of trust and communication in our relationship.


Additionally, these experiences have also helped Stefania develop important life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience. She has learned to navigate challenging terrain, overcome obstacles, and work together with others to achieve a common goal. These skills will undoubtedly serve her well in all aspects of her life.

But perhaps the most rewarding aspect of sharing outdoor activities with Stefania has been the bond that we have developed as a family. These experiences have brought us closer together, creating lasting memories and a sense of shared adventure. It has also allowed us to connect with other like-minded individuals and families, building a sense of community around our shared love for the outdoors.


In conclusion, I urge all parents to take the time to share outdoor activities with their children. The benefits are immeasurable, and the memories will last a lifetime. As the saying goes, "Take a child hiking and they will learn to love the outdoors. Take a child rock climbing and they will learn to love themselves." So go out there, explore, and make some memories with your loved ones.

Hey everyone! My name is Stefania and I'm an 11-year-old climber and super enthusiastic blogger. I'm so stoked to share my outdoor and climbing experiences with you all!


I started climbing when I was just 7 years old and I've been hooked ever since. My dad Javi is also a crazy-good climber and we've tackled so many awesome climbing spots in Puerto Rico together. We're like a climbing dream team!


Climbing is seriously the coolest thing ever. It's like a puzzle you have to solve with your body. You have to figure out the best way to move your feet and hands to make your way up the rock or wall. And sometimes you have to use your whole body to stretch and reach for the next hold. It's like being a ninja or a superhero or something!

But climbing isn't just about being strong or fast or tough. It's also about being smart and safe. My dad and I always check each other's gear and make sure we're using the right techniques to stay safe while we climb. And we always have a blast while we're doing it!



I've learned so much about myself and the world around me through climbing. I've learned that I'm tougher than I thought I was and that I can do things I never thought possible. And I've learned that the great outdoors is the most amazing playground ever.


I can't wait to share more of my climbing adventures with you all here on my blog!


So stay tuned for more Stefania-approved outdoor awesomeness!
