About Hiketivity

Hello, I’m Tati Santos. Growing up in southern Brazil, nature was my playground. Family adventures sparked a lifelong love for hiking that continued as I explored my hometown, Porto Alegre.

When I moved to Los Angeles in 1997, I encountered a city unfamiliar with the culture of walking, dominated by cars, freeways  and empty sidewalks. Yet, I saw potential – a city waiting to be rediscovered on foot. 

Guiding friends through LA, I crafted unique walks, revealing hidden gems and captivating history. These explorations became the seeds from which Hiketivity blossomed. 🌱
