We call The Cinque Terre, our ‘Spiritual Home’.

Sarah solo hiked the Cinque Terre in 2014 and took Jonathan in 2016 who feel as deeply in love with the landscape as Sarah.

Since then, they have visited every year, forming a deep relationship with the land and people.

In 2023 they celebrated their partnership with a hand fasting ceremony in Monterosso. And began to take groups on tours to share the magic and beauty of this beloved place.
