She fell in love with the PCT – and that's only the beginning of her trail plans. ### **Who is Anet?** Aneta has always been close to travel – she studied tourism and regional development, and when she's not on the road she works at a travel agency. She only got into long-distance treks when she decided to fulfill a big dream of hers – to walk the famous **Pacific Crest Trail**. At the same time she decided to **share her first journey on YouTube** as **Anet na Trailu**, where she has already won over hundreds of Czechs drawn to the same kind of life adventure. Her enthusiasm, positive attitude, the smile on her face and her love of the mountains are things we share – which is why she recently became our **new ambassador** at Gramino. And we can't wait to see where her traveler's soul takes her next! And hopefully this time – with our help – with a lighter pack too. ### Where to find her? - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/anet_na_trailu/) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@anetnatrailu) ### What's her main travel motto? *"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list!"* ### What are her biggest travel achievements? **2026 – GR 221 – Mallorca crossing** **2025 – Pacific Crest Trail – USA – approx. 4 000 km** The PCT was her very first experience with hiking as such. That journey changed her in an incredible way and kicked off her love of hiking and of traveling in a different style. This deep personal experience taught her not only patience and humility, but also simplicity when it comes to gear. It showed her that you can get by with very little and walk anywhere with a light pack. You can look forward to more of Anet's travel dreams coming true soon! 😉 ### What are her favorite products and what does she say about them? - **BACKPACK** – [Liteway Gramless Pack 35L](/p/liteway-gramless-pack-x-pac-35-l) – Her absolute favorite for shorter hikes. - **TENT** – [Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2](/p/big-agnes-tiger-wall-ul2) – Love at first sleep, plenty of space and comfort. - **QUILT** – [Patizon Multi Quilt 250](/p/patizon-multi-quilt-250) – A quilt and a down poncho in one?
