Tomar · Nazaré · Coimbra This is an invitation to step out of routine and into discovery. A long weekend for women who crave beauty, depth, movement, and the thrill of uncovering places that don’t appear on the usual map. We travel through the heart of central Portugal — from the mystical energy of Tomar, to the wild Atlantic cliffs of Nazaré, and the soulful streets of Coimbra. This journey is about exploration — outer landscapes and inner shifts. Less urgency. More aliveness. Less scrolling. More sensing. What We’ll Experience Together Hidden Corners & Secret Spots We wander through medieval alleys, forest paths, dramatic coastlines, and riverside trails. We visit places that feel undiscovered — quiet chapels, panoramic viewpoints, tucked-away beaches, and cafés with stories. Sacred & Wild Energy In Tomar, we step into the mystical atmosphere of the Templars at the magnificent Convent of Christ. In Nazaré, we breathe in Atlantic air along cliffs that remind us how powerful and untamed we are. In Coimbra, we soak in history and feminine presence as we wander near the iconic University of Coimbra. Movement & Rituals Morning forest walks. Sunset gatherings. Optional cold dips in the pool, ocean or river. Evening circles filled with reflection, laughter, and connection. Good Food & Slow Moments Shared meals at home, local products tasting. Picnic with ocean views. Coffee stops in sunlit squares. Time to rest, journal, or explore on your own.

Hey, I’m Gabi, open minded ocean kid. I’m an experienced trip leader, adventure lover, and big believer in the magic of shared experiences. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding incredible trips in Madeira —whether it’s hiking trips, catching waves, or simply soaking in the beauty of nature with amazing people. For me, travel is about so much more than seeing new places—it’s about connecting, growing, and having fun along the way. I’m all about creating spaces where people feel inspired, supported, and free to be themselves. For this trip I have partnered with my dear friend, folk herbalist rooted in the Wise Woman tradition. She learns from plants, from land, from seasons, and from the body itself. Her work is shaped by years of walking slowly with herbs, listening rather than extracting, and letting Earth set the pace. She is Wild Mama.

We will be sharing a beautiful country house with outdoor kitchen and a pool. You will have your own private room, with shared indoor areas and plenty of outdoor space to rest, walk, and breathe. There is space to be outside. A swimming pool for slow afternoons. Quiet corners to sit, journal, or simply do nothing. We will cook together. Food is simple, seasonal, and nourishing. Herbal allies are gently woven into our meals, broths, and daily rhythm. There is always tea on the stove. This is shared living held with care. Respectful. Unrushed. Human.

3 nights accommodation in a shared house

Coimbra

Day 1-2

We meet in Coimbra and travel together to the house in the hills. After settling into your room and taking time to arrive, we share a simple, nourishing dinner together. The evening is unhurried, with time to swim, sit outside under the stars, and gently land into the rhythm of the weekend.

Alvorge

Day 2

🌿 Alvorge – Our Countryside Home Nestled near the small village of Alvorge, our house sits surrounded by rolling hills, olive trees, and forest edges. This will be our base — peaceful, spacious, and grounding.

Tomar

Day 2-3

The day in Tomar is shaped by history, stone, and quiet symbolism. Walking through the Convent of Christ and the old town, we take time to notice carved details, courtyards, light, and the way this place has held human thought, craft, and mystery over centuries. There is space to wander, pause for lunch or coffee, and feel the atmosphere of a town. Tomar is a day of depth — grounding, symbolic, and quietly powerful. Later we are returning home for a slower evening together.

Nazaré

Day 3-4

Known for its legendary Atlantic waves and fishing traditions, Nazaré carries a raw, untamed beauty. From the cliffs of Sítio da Nazaré, we’ll take in vast ocean views — wind in our hair, salt on our skin. Sit and enjoy picnic while watching the waves roll in Nazaré is movement. Power. Laughter. A reminder of how alive we are.

Coimbra

Day 4

On our final morning, we return to Coimbra. Before departures, there is the option to visit the magnificent University of Coimbra, one of the oldest universities in Europe. Walking through its grand courtyards and historic spaces offers a beautiful closing — a reflection on knowledge, legacy, and the journeys women have taken through time. We end where we began — but different. Grounded. Expanded. Connected. Hugs at the station. Slow goodbyes. A quiet knowing that something shifted.
