We are a worldwide community of individuals that are commited to the purpose of bringing joy, healing, peace and excitement into an ordinary holiday trip. More than just a travel experience, we create bridges between communities around the world that share an inspiring vision for the future and an opportunity to maintain or enhance one’s well-being. This is an open invitation to step out of the comfort zone and into a safe journey of rediscovery of oneself and of the beauty of nature and life. Join us in discovering together hidden gems of Colombia, its diverse cultural landscape, the kindness of its people and new ways of living and of being. Ultimately, this is an innate journey to ourselves. Come together with other adventures seekers from around the world or bring your own tribe to experience a different kind of tour. One that will create friends and memories for life offering at the same time space for inner transformation and well-being.
I've traveled around the world for the last decade in order to find out what this world is made of and so I've come to realise the potential of growth in terms of personal and spiritual development that lies behind every trip and every interaction with a new place and a new culture. More than just a travel experience, my aim is to facilitate a deep connection with communities world wide that I consider family with the purpose to share their values, their wisdom, their culture, customs and traditons so we can experience a different way of life that is an alternative to the societal structures and the status quo that we are offered as a role model.
Depending of the location where we'll spend the night (city, village, ashram, jungle), the accomodation can vary from a 3* hotel to a glamping site. As the purpose of the tour is based around community there will be times when we will sleep in shared dorms, but private rooms will always be available. Any sleeping arrangements and other details will be discussed prior to starting the tour. Join us maybe? Come in and say Hi...
