Walking Tours
One of Carmen's Passions

Walking Tours

Slow travel, deeply felt

Walking is how Carmen travels when she wants to truly arrive. Her walking journeys trade the rush of distance for the richness of a single region — one trail, one village, one conversation at a time.

The sentieri that link the five villages, timed to the light and the crowds, ending with aperitivos on a terrace above the sea.

Kyoto's Temple Trails

A meditative route through the old temples and bamboo groves of Kyoto's eastern hills, guided by a local who knows each garden's quiet hour.
