Marwat Al-Olefi

Trip Lead

Marwat Al-Olefi is a Yemeni-American who grew up playing outside. The simple life of four-square and capture the flag soon turned into trail hunting. Being from the Bay Area, it was easy for her to access trails with a beautiful scenery. It was until college she began indulging in more intense nature activities like camping and backpacking with a small group of friends. Soon after discovering Ma’wa, her outlook to adventuring became less about discovering new areas and more around how nature brings us closer to spiritual excellence, ihsan.
