Meet Your Host

Hey! I’m Ganna, the co-founder of Basecaamp.

Last summer, I bike-packed from Los Angeles to New York, staying in campgrounds all over the country.

And while I loved being in nature, I kept feeling like something was missing…

I wanted the same nature, the same adventure, the same connection, but without the constant effort, without having to figure everything out, without that “survival mode” feeling.

When I came back to California, I wanted to create a space where you can be in the forest, go on hikes, sit by the fire with good people, jump into cold water, warm up in the sauna, get a massage, slow down, and actually feel like yourself again.
