🌴 Barefoot in Nicaragua: A Personal Journey
Come to Nicaragua — and let me show you around. This isn’t a retreat with a rigid schedule or a pre-packaged tour. It’s something far more personal.
You’ll stay in beautiful San Juan del Sur, where I’ll be your local guide — crafting a custom experience just for you (or your small group). We might explore hidden beaches, go horseback riding, share fresh local meals, dance barefoot under the stars… or simply slow down and breathe. You choose the pace.
Each trip includes your accommodation, meals, ground transportation, and itinerary planning, plus the real magic — local connection and authentic experiences you can’t find in a brochure.
Spaces are limited — because this isn’t mass travel. It’s meaningful travel. 🌅💛

Highlights
🌟 Highlights – Why This Experience is One-of-a-Kind
Real, Unfiltered Nicaragua
This isn’t your typical tourist package — this is about connection. You’ll see Nicaragua through the eyes of someone who’s fallen in love with it: the quiet beaches, horses, the sun-drenched streets of San Juan del Sur, and the simple moments that make you feel alive. Every experience is rooted in authenticity, not a pre-set agenda.
Custom, Not Cookie-Cutter
No two trips are the same. Whether you want a peaceful escape, a horse-lover’s adventure, or a mix of beach, culture, and slow mornings with coffee and conversation — we’ll shape it just for you. You’re not following a crowd; you’re following your own rhythm, with a local guide who knows how to read the vibe.
Come As You Are
There’s no need to arrive as anything other than yourself. This is a space for letting go, softening, and stepping back into who you are at your core. Whether you’re healing, celebrating, or just needing a break from the noise — this is your time. Casual, real, and totally yours.
A Local Touch, A Personal Guide
This isn’t a retreat center — this is me showing you around like a friend would. You’ll have support and structure, but also the freedom to explore. From fresh meals to hidden gems and unforgettable rides, everything is guided by care, intention, and love for this place I now call home.
