The PlanetHike Team: Real People. Shared Steps. One Planet.
PlanetHike began with a bold and personal question:
What if our steps could help heal the planet?
It’s a question that stayed with our founder, Tichi — a lifelong believer in people-powered change.
Before PlanetHike, Tichi co-founded Nahow e.V., a nonprofit bringing clean water and solar power to schools in Cameroon. He later held leadership roles at global firms like PIMCO and Ford, but something was missing. He saw firsthand how progress means little without a healthy planet to build on.
He also saw something powerful: When people walk with purpose, movements happen.
So he stepped away from the corporate path — to build something deeper.
PlanetHike was born: a walk that looks like style — white T-shirts and sneakers — but is rooted in impact, joy, and collective purpose.
We walk for Water, Art, and Trees.
We walk to plant forests, fund murals, and bring clean water to communities.
And now, with #PlanetHike10000, we walk for something even more personal: Our Why.
Whether you walk 10KM in a city or 10,000 steps in your own neighborhood, you walk for the planet — and for what you love.
This is more than a walk. It’s a ritual. A statement. A global step forward — one powerful message at a time.
