Activities & Shift

It’s 5 hours of conversation while walking together, where I share my knowledge as a tour guide. We’ll also visit beaches, rivers, and waterfalls, 5 days a week.

Rules

The only real rule here is mutual respect. As long as there is respect between us, everything else flows naturally, sharing, talking, walking, cooking, or simply resting. I’m not rigid about schedules or activities; the idea is to let the days unfold with ease. This is not about “hippie peace and love,” but about living together in a healthy and authentic way.
