Join us for a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of Salento, immersed in the charm of Lecce, the beauty of its coastline, its vibrant events, and enchanting inland villages. This journey is rooted in individual freedom, the absence of social pressures, and spontaneous sharing. Open to all ages, youthful in spirit yet mature in the ability to live in a shared space. We will stay in two cozy and uniquely designed co-living spaces, dreamlike settings where you can feel safe, authentic, and respected. Tripmates will be from 6 to 12 people. These spaces are ideal for maintaining your privacy, working remotely if needed, and also enjoying shared moments with fellow participants. Two large rooms are available for creative activities, workshops, yoga sessions, and events open to everyone, always free from pressure. You will have, not one, but two TripLeaders, me and Daniela, one in each house. More than TripLeaders, I would say that we are two TripFacilitators, as we are relaxed, and we love to easily facilitate that everyone will have a great experience. HOW DO THE DAYS UNFOLD? Every morning, after a hearty breakfast (included), we will gather alternately in one of the two houses (a short walk between them will be necessary) for a group moment where everyone can share how they wish to spend their day. Do you want to go on a hike, visit the beach, explore a nearby city or Lecce's historic center, attend a special event, wander aimlessly, enjoy some alone time, or focus on work? You’re free to join others or spend the day as you wish. Everything is optional: freedom and spontaneity are the essence of this experience. Midway through the trip, we’ll embark on a breathtaking coastal excursion, exploring natural landscapes and ending the day with dinner at a local restaurant. Of course, like everything else, this is entirely optional. HOW WILL GET AROUND? Total freedom here, too. You can use public transport, walk, rent a scooter, bycicle, or a car (affordable rates) and share expenses with other participants. We’ll kick off with a welcome party on the first evening and celebrate with a closing party on the final day to reflect on and enjoy our shared experience. MEALS AND GATHERINGS Dinners, like breakfasts, are included and prepared by mindful and skilled chefs. They provide opportunities to relax, share stories, and plan the days ahead or organize joint activities with others. LECCE AND SALENTO UNIQUE'S EXPERIENCES Salento is alive with daily events: art exhibition openings, concerts, festivals, and the incredible local music, Pizzica, born in Salento from the unique healing phenomenon of trance: Tarantismo. There will be the possibility to know about all this events, and through our whatsapp group, to join, alone or with someone else. HOW TO REACH LECCE? It's very easy. First, you can look for the two closest airports (both offer many low-cost options): Brindisi and Bari. From other locations, you can travel with Trenitalia or by bus services like FlixBus or Itabus.

I have traveled to many parts of the world in various ways, always with the goal of eventually becoming "like a local." Random cities around the globe, without money, hitchhiking, deserts, forests, monasteries, adopted by the Roma people, in dangerous areas, working, creating, and, most importantly, discovering myself—I’ve tried it all. I’ve never followed tourist routes or sought the adrenaline of paid, pre-planned experiences. Instead, I’ve focused on the beauty of every moment, openness to the unknown, and chance encounters. Traveling has been my school, teaching me to go beyond cultures, to see diversity as a resource, and to embrace the gifts life offers when we don’t suppress them but instead integrate them into who we are. While I love the dimension of travel, I’ve always returned “home,” to engage with the world as it is—its difficulties, responsibilities—while striving to carry that same dimension with me. The Present, the ability to marvel at small things, openness to the new, joy, and first and foremost, self-reflection. And then, to share all of this—hosting travelers myself and connecting with locals. It will be a pleasure to share this with you too.

We will stay in two cozy and uniquely designed co-living spaces, dreamlike settings where you can feel safe, authentic, and respected. These spaces are ideal for maintaining your privacy, working remotely if needed, and also enjoying shared moments with fellow participants. Two large rooms are available for creative activities, workshops, yoga sessions, and events open to everyone, always free from pressure. Accommodation Options Private room with a double bed for one or two people. Shared room accommodations for a more social and informal experience. Bathrooms are shared. For those seeking more independence, bikes, cars, and scooters can be rented at affordable prices, making individual or group travel easy. This journey is an opportunity to connect with yourself and others in a free, welcoming, and inspiring atmosphere. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

Lecce

Day 1-2
On the arrival day, you are welcome to settle into your accommodation, and in the evening, we will all gather for a welcome dinner and drinks. It’s an opportunity to meet each other and ease into the vibe of the trip. Everything will happen naturally, and everyone can enjoy at their own pace.

Lecce

Day 2-5
Every morning, after a rich breakfast included in your stay, we will gather alternately at one of the two houses (a short walk will be necessary) for a group moment where everyone can share how they wish to spend the day. Do you want to go on a hike, visit the beach, explore a nearby city or the center of Lecce, attend a specific event, wander aimlessly, enjoy some solitude, or perhaps focus on work? We will provide support for who wants to organise something, and the list of events happening in Lecce and all around. You can choose to join others or simply take time for yourself. Everything is optional: freedom and spontaneity are at the heart of this experience. In the evening, a dinner (included but optional), featuring a rich single-dish specialty, will be waiting for us, prepared by mindful chefs.

Roca

Day 5
Midway through our stay, we suggest an optional excursion along the stunning Adriatic coast. We'll head to Torre dell’Orso, one of the most beautiful beaches in Salento, and from there, walk north through breathtaking landscapes. Along the way, we’ll explore caves carved into the rocks, including the famous "Grotta della Poesia," before reaching the ruins of Roca Vecchia. This ancient seaside city is a magical site, home to numerous caves once inhabited by Byzantine monks. On our way back, we’ll stop at a local restaurant to sample some of the area’s culinary specialties.
