A special episode on Nature & Kindness with an announcement at the end! Spending quality time in nature’s bounty is healing and therapeutic. Outdoor activities like trekking and diving help connect with the mountains and oceans and, in turn offer a getaway from busy urban lives. Nature has the power to inspire and make us feel fulfilled. As they create a welcoming space for different people who can bond together, our guests Shannon Fernandes from Vagabond Experiences and Srujan of Tour de Outdoors have discovered kindness within the arms of nature. As strangers make the effort to be kind and lend a hand in each other’s adventures, we hope this episode gives you a glimpse into some more unexpected kindness! Our favourite highlights - 🌟 Appreciating the beauty of it all and putting aside complaints to be present in the moment. 🌟 Being away from the pressures of daily life, being grateful for each gesture. 🌟 Taking all there is to come and giving it more chances! 🌟 Above all, undergoing transformative journeys while outdoors.
