“He wants to see the whole world and this is what he chose for this trip,” Clamen told Global News.
“That was his dream.”Galganov left Montreal on Sept. 24; Clamen said he made sure to stay in close contact with her.
“He texted me on Sept. 28 to say that he would probably be unreachable for a few days, until Oct. 2,” she explained, adding he was planning to do the Santa Cruz Trek.
Clamen hasn’t heard a word from her son since, and says she doesn’t know if he was hiking alone or in a group.
