If you’re looking for a complete physical and mental reset, this tour is exactly what you need!!! I recharged both body and soul — even though, technically, I was tired by the end. But only because I didn’t want to miss a single moment of the week. The tour offered such a rich mix of activities, completely new experiences, and challenges — all surrounded by stunning nature and wonderful people. It was both exhilarating and humbling. I’d never interacted with horses before, never slept in a tent, never ventured so deep into the forest :D. And maybe that’s the best way to do it — come unprepared but open to everything new!!!! Huge thanks to our amazing instructors: Ainur, Ksenia, Elena, and Azaleen!
