I'm Leon Helg, a software engineer and filmmaker, living in the eastern part of Switzerland.
I started posting on social media in summer of 2025.
On Instagram I mainly post wildcamping videos, hiking comedy and scenic views.
Wildcamping has been a deep passion of mine since I was a child, and I want to do even more alpine bivouacking content in the future.
For exactly that I built a Switzerland App with my 141 favourite spots. I sell around 800 units a month, with the main buyers being Swiss people. I'm currently developing a platform where I can expand this “best spots” idea to other countries with different nature creators. It's called sceniq.earth.
On TikTok hiking fashion and equipment videos work very well. From TikTok and Instagram combined I get around 300 to 500 clicks a day on the gear items in my ShopMy profile.
I also have a blog where I write about my expeditions and spots in Switzerland. The blog gets around 5,000 clicks a month. Total website clicks are around 40,000 a month, with the main driver being my Switzerland app.
I want to double down on wildcamping and do more alpine expeditions. Especially bivouacking in extreme conditions is something that intrigues me more and more.
I will also keep expanding my blog and building sceniq.earth.
With brand partnerships I only want to work with brands that value quality. Hilleberg, Exped, Samaya, just to name a few.
Brands can send me their products. I test them, and if I like them they will naturally appear in my videos and photos.
The products that are my daily drivers also appear in my gear collections on ShopMy. Ideally the brand is registered there, so I can earn a commission on direct sales.
If I don't like the product, or won't use it for another reason, I will send it back. I don't want to include products in my collections where I'm not a convinced user.
I can also do dedicated paid collaborations. If brands want to be actively tagged in a story, carousel or reel, I'm open to discussing rates over email.
Actually important to me, not just empty words.
Write me what the product is and I will come back to you.
