Written by our dear client following an aLIVE experience discovering the best of “made in Italy”, in 2024. "All roads lead back to Rome, well at least in my life. Its captivating beauty, vibrant people, indulgent food, and convenient airport make it the perfect start to any good Italian holiday. The moment I landed, I was greeted with my favorite Roman pastry: a maritozzo."...
The explanation is very simple: when we are immersed in the present moment, we are living in the here and now. We are not thinking. At all. We are living. Moment by moment. We are aLIVE with what IS, and receptive to our present concrete reality. Immersive experiences do that because they inundate our senses - they TAKE OVER. We literally don’t have a choice. We are part of the experience and no matter how great of a multi-tasking / multi-thinking expert we believe ourselves to be - when we’re in the present moment, there is no multi-tasking. There is simply the NOW. And that’s when parts of the brain literally shut off.
I have spoken about this time and time again: the importance of a good guide. It can make or break an entire experience. No matter how well a journey has been crafted in advance, no matter how much work has gone in the “behind the scenes” - the people on the ground shape the journey’s perspective: the outcome lies in their hands.
The north-east of Brazil: a kiter’s ultimate paradise. But this time paradise got an upgrade… introducing “the reef”! The clear water, the orange - golden corals everywhere… patches across the flat ocean as far as the eye could see. Infinite. Freedom. And absolute beauty. A magical afternoon spent out on the water. Half an hour away from the shore, out into the ocean - kiting over the corals towards the horizon… beauty all around.
Herb. Marijuana. Ganja. Cannabis. Jamaica. Synonyms? You cannot go to Jamaica without interacting with the world of Cannabis in one way or another. Whether it’s seeing the people smoking around you on the streets, as a symbol on murals around or catching whiffs of it in the air on any beach you go to… cannabis is present here. But the Jamaican approach to the herb is unlike anywhere else: it is part of their spirituality.
