The Soul of the Village

What remains of a trip are neither the monuments nor the landscapes: they are the faces. You are one of those who strike up a conversation with a stranger on a bus, who accept an invitation to dine with a locals without hesitation, who remember the first name of the taxi driver. The human connection is not a bonus in your trip, it is its raison d'être. You have this rare ability to put people at ease, even when you don't share the same language.

You thrive in stays that encourage encounters: accommodation with locals, small groups, stops in villages rather than capitals. What deeply disappoints you: trips where you stay among tourists, isolated behind the glass of an air-conditioned bus. Large resorts bore you, tours that are too fast don't leave you time to create a bond. Favor immersive formats, with few participants and a lot of free time on site.
