Golden hour hits different in the Douro Valley 🍷⛰️
Where terraced vineyards tumble down toward the glimmering Douro River and time seems to move with the flow of the water, slow and steady. ✨️

This region is a living postcard. Ancient quintas cling to hillsides, the air is thick with the scent of ripe grapes, and every glass of wine tells a tale of soil, sun, and soul.

Join us for a retreat that blends leisure, pleasure, and presence. Dips in the Douro River, sips of port at historic wineries, wandering cobblestone villages, and toast the day as the sun dips behind terraced vines.

If you’ve been craving beauty, connection, and a reason to pause and savor—this is your sign. Come with us. The Douro is calling.

We're still riding the magic of our time in Morocco with this incredible group of explorers, dreamers, and heart-open humans. From camel rides along the coast to hands in the dough at our cooking class, from market haggles to mint tea giggles, every moment was alive with connection, beauty, and discovery.

Hosting this retreat was pure joy — a weaving of stories, friendships, and soul-deep experiences across desert sands and ocean breezes. Our hearts are full. Morocco, you gave us so much.

To our group: thank you for saying yes. For showing up with curiosity, kindness, and courage. We’ll carry the memories with us — and we hope you do, too.

There’s something special about traveling in a small group—just the right mix of adventure, connection, and all the freedom to be yourself. ✨

You get to explore new places with like-minded souls, sharing meals, laughter, and those "wow" moments that only travel can bring. But there’s also space—space to wander off, follow your own curiosity, and move at your own rhythm.

Small group travel with us, , also allows space for you to use time choosing your own adventure (we even offer guides with suggestions and resources for use of free time!) while being part of something bigger. It’s the perfect balance of personal freedom and shared joy.

Because the best journeys aren’t just about where you go—they’re about how you feel along the way. ❤️

Where’s your next adventure taking you?

Added to the reasons to hike with a multi-purpose scarf... you can fashion a puppy papoose. 🐶

In our most recent podcast we share the story of how we met "Al", short for Algarve, a lost pup we met on a trail in Portugal and how he helped further inform our business goals for 2025. ✨️

Travel isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about seeing yourself in new ways. Stepping into unfamiliar landscapes shakes loose the habits and assumptions we carry daily. Suddenly, what truly matters becomes clear: the values that guide us, the connections we crave, the way we want to show up in the world.

Whether it’s navigating unexpected animal rescues with strangers turned friends or the buzz of a foreign market, travel holds up a mirror. What do you see when the noise falls away?

Oaxaca: A Cultural Tapestry Woven in Tradition ✨

Oaxaca isn’t just a place—it’s an experience. A living, breathing celebration of heritage, artistry, and deep ancestral wisdom. 🌎 From the vibrant colors of handwoven Zapotec textiles to the hauntingly beautiful rhythms of traditional music, every street, market, and mezcal toast tells a story.

✨ Walk through the ancient ruins of Monte Albán and Mitla, where whispers of the past still echo.
✨ Get lost in the sights and scents of local markets, a sensory overload of spices, pottery, and local magic.
✨ Feel the energy of a temazcal ceremony, connecting you to the earth and your own transformation.

Whether you come for the art, the rituals, or the spirit of resilience in every corner, Oaxaca invites you to not just visit—but to become part of its story. 💫
