Who are WOW?

Hello there on the other side of the screen! My name is Lowie. I like spending my time hiking, doing yoga, and chopping some wood. I thrive on an active lifestyle. Balancing social interaction with enough time and peace for myself is crucial. Seeking meaning in life and a lifestyle closer to nature, I moved to the beautiful mountain village of Benfeita. I've found a land here that I must admit I've fallen in love with! I'm in the process of building a small, independent off-grid house where I hope to live a simple and happy life someday. Working as an outdoor guide in an adventure company in Belgium has given me a lot of confidence in guiding groups over the years. Meeting new people brings me joy, and I'm excited about the prospect of guiding you on our hiking adventures.

In 2015, I was introduced to tantra for the first time and embarked on my inaugural, self-guided three-week trek in the Norwegian mountains. Now, years later, I'm merging these two great loves in Ways of Wonder. In the meantime, I've spent 8 years working as an activity therapist in psychiatry. I've also gained extensive experience in tantra through various courses and guiding sessions. This has granted me a sense of freedom and groundedness in my daily life.

Since I was a child, I've marveled at the beauty of nature, and as I've grown older, I've realized how essential it is to make space for it.

I cherish the small wonders of the world. My heart thrives on bringing people together, the purity of nature, cooking delicious and nourishing meals, engaging in creative pursuits, giving massages, and engaging in conversations with people from all walks of life.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you: our Jolien! She's an absolute sweetheart. Jolien is playful, creative, and never fails to surprise me by saying or doing the right thing at just the right moment. Her presence exudes tranquility, instantly calming me solely by being herself. She's the perfect companion for our journey together and excels at making everyone feel comfortable. Let's go!

With Lowie, I feel safe, heard, seen, and encouraged to be myself. His thoughtful questions inspire me to share what truly resonates within me. I see in Lowie an incredibly social being who approaches the world and fellow travelers with engagement, spontaneity, and a refreshing honesty. His enthusiasm for nature and Portugal is contagious. Walking, chatting, cooking, sitting by the fire, and philosophizing about life with him is an absolute delight!
