Traveling with the sun through the city

Sometimes close enough to catch a typical touristy snapshot yet at the same time far away from paths only meant to be photographed instead of lived and savoured.

While always moving towards the sun or shade— unhurried yet with room to explore— be it elegant or cozy— both— or simply alive allowing for unexpected encounters while expecting a à well planned ‘flow like water my friend’ through the city.

The Tours

Aspiring to incorporate circadian rhythm to optimize wellbeing— traveling like a local with the morning sun, hiding in the midday shade— indoors or under trees, re-emerging during golden hour light (depends on tour and weather) to then enjoy evening atmosphere into days that feel natural yet deliberate.

Hopefully making room for the human need for exploration, paired with rest while allowing wonder to unfold— wishfully resulting in meaningful and enriching days, letting us truly be human in a worthwhile, merging all that it means to be human way

To set the mood upfront, here are some location inspired Spotify playlists to listen to

From the world to lisboa

À Human Muse— who is now sharing the city that held her the moment she had to finnaly admist that her whole life wasnt built on anything substantially healthy or foundationally sound and Lisbon held her so dearly with all her beauty despite the challenges which allowed her to love Lisbon in a way that she somehow found a home, maybe for the first time in her life, and is now sharing, after many encouraging her to do so, in a way that isn´t rushing for tourist snaps, yet the actual essence of Lisbon and all its facets ajnd inhabitants and in a way which doesn’t disturb local life, both human and animal, yet allows foreigners to experience the magic Lisbon is— if we allow her to unfold

Resilience by necessity, creating and choosing beauty by choice
