I’ve just returned from one of the most beautiful and transformative journeys of my life - riding the Zagoria Trail in southern Albania with 🇦🇱
For a week I crossed ancient mountains and wild valleys, rode through villages, and watched the landscape shift from golden hills to misty peaks. I swam in an icy waterfalls, shared long dinners in the homes of local families, and visited small historic churches filled with stories and spirit ⛰️ ⛪️
Every day held something new — the sound of hooves on old caravan roads, the scent of mountain herbs, the laughter around the dinner table, the kindness of the people we met, the connection that grows when you share something real 🤍
And then there was Mars - my horse, my companion, my mirror. Step by step he guided me closer to trust - in him, in life, and in myself. Our connection deepened in silence, in movement, in the rhythm of breath and heartbeats 🐎
Through Mars I found calm. I found strength.
And I rediscovered the healing power of horses, nature and presence.
To everyone who shared this week - for the laughter, the stories, and the courage - thank you. You all became part of this journey in the most beautiful way.
When I said goodbye to Mars after a week together, tears of gratitude filled my eyes. He’s now back home, running free for his week of rest - and a part of my heart runs with him ❤️
Deeply touched, grounded, and forever thankful to for creating something that’s not just a trail — but a journey for the soul 🙏🏻
