Start Exploring →I’m Abdi Hussein, the creator behind Shillow Travel — a storyteller, photographer, and mountain enthusiast deeply inspired by the beauty of Switzerland, the country I’ve called home for the past 19 years.
My journey into travel and hiking began during the Covid-19 pandemic. What started as a simple escape from uncertainty and isolation slowly turned into a deep passion for exploring nature, discovering hidden places, and capturing meaningful moments in the mountains.
Over the last two years, I’ve spent countless hours hiking alpine trails, photographing breathtaking landscapes, and documenting experiences across Switzerland — from quiet mountain villages to dramatic peaks and crystal-clear lakes.
Everything you find on Shillow Travel comes from real personal experiences. No shortcuts, no sponsored fluff — just honest stories, practical insights, and original photography from the journeys I’ve lived myself.
