Wrong Directions: Wild Boars, Bicycles, Spiritual Journeys, and an Eco-Village
Description
In this episode of What Lingers, we dive into the captivating story of a transformative journey from Germany to an eco-village in Portugal. After a breakup, Sylvia decided to leave behind Germany, cycling 3,000 kilometers to find a new sense of community. Along the way, expectations collided with reality. Join hosts Cristian and Liz as they explore more about this journey of self-discovery and the lessons learned in a community that challenged long-held beliefs.
