Mind-Blowing Relaxation

I cried when it was time to leave the Golfe Dulce Resort

Susanna and I experienced a new dimension of adventure last week.

Six days in a very comfortable resort for a maximum of 8 people in pristine jungle that can only be reached by boat.

"Welcome to Golfo Dulce Retreat ; you will be our only guests here for this week. Enjoy our natural paradise."
Every moment I could feel the passion of the owners Chantelle and Simon to create an unforgettabe experience with delicious vegetarian meals and local fish, top quality accomodation and passionate service. We both love high quality healthy food; this was the perfect framework.

The real adventure came unexpected with the 24/7 exposure to raw nature. The sounds of birds and insects, the pouring rain every night, the guided private 3-6 hour hikes through the jungle with Agostin - dolphins playing around our boat on our way to explore the mangroves with a resident biology student from Cambridge - every detail was exquisite.

Every hour filled my heart and my senses with deep relaxation and gratitude for this paradise and flow between an exuberant ecosystem and high quality of healthy human life. Mind-blowing, hard to describe, powerful, life-changing.

I cried when it was time to take the boat back to 'normal life' - you might hear it in my voice on this video.
