Description
Greetings!
My name is Atash. I come from London, but I was born in Tehran, Iran. Over the years, I’ve lived in five different countries—Turkey, Norway, England, Italy, and the UAE. For the past 15 months, I’ve been traveling through South America, beginning in Colombia, then Ecuador, and now Peru. The plan is to continue through South America and into Central America.

This journey has been deeply personal and transformative. During this time, I’ve learned a great deal about myself, about people, and about different cultures. I’ve been learning Spanish, which I really enjoy, and I’ve had the opportunity to connect with people from many walks of life. I’ve seen incredible places and experienced moments that I truly appreciate. It’s been a privilege, and I’m very grateful for this opportunity that it’s been given to me .

One of the most important realizations I’ve had during my travels is that I take responsibility for the reality I experience. This awareness has helped me become more present, adaptable, and open-minded, especially when navigating new environments and cultures.

I take each day as it comes and enjoy the sense of movement and change that comes with travel. Whether it’s a new place tomorrow or a new country in the coming months, I find this lifestyle energizing and meaningful. I’m not searching for anything specific, but I’m open to new experiences, learning opportunities, and connections along the way.

Since the pandemic, over the last six years, I have been preparing myself for something profound, meaningful, and beautiful. Slowly, slowly, but surely, during these years I raised my frequency, I aligned myself, and I finally arrived at this beautiful experience. And the truth is, I manifested it in the most perfect way.

And for that, I want to… read more thank Ruairi.
Brother, if you weren’t there, if you didn’t exist, this would not have happened. I truly believe you were the most perfect host for me in every aspect. Your character, your personality, and above all, your beautiful soul — it had to be you, man. It had to be you and your place.

The way you designed everything… the houses, the maloca, even Bran ,Freya and the cat — everything felt tailor-made, perfectly aligned, bespoke for me. My gratitude is endless, Thank you. You’ve got a brother for life. I want you to know that.

I was blessed enough to have the opportunity to experience the sacred and beautiful medicine 3 times. Life changing. I truly am speechless because its so profound and deep. All I can say is that I have never had so much clarity and calmness in my entire life.

Now, for anyone thinking about going to the jungle…
Oh my god, you are in for a treat, ladies and gentlemen. This place is truly magical. It sits right in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, along the beautiful Amazon River.

The journey itself is unforgettable. Once you arrive in Iquitos, you take a beautiful 40-minute boat ride to Santa María de Ojeal — one of the most magical Amazonian villages that exists. And when you arrive, everything — the people, the environment, the energy — feels harmonious and alive.

If you are looking for clarity, for truth, for deep healing on the most profound level, this is the place. And Ruairi …..he is simply the perfect host.

But first, you must know what you want.
You must know yourself, you must know why you are going there. Once you are clear with your intentions and have done your research, then this is the place for you. I cannot think of any other place better than where I spent five beautiful, unforgettable weeks.

The sounds of the jungle… oh my god. The symphony of life. Early mornings, different birds. Midday and afternoon, new animals taking over. And the most magical time — when the darkness slowly replaces the daylight. That transition… it is the most harmonious, beautiful soundscape I have ever heard in my entire life.

It has only been one day since I left the jungle, but it feels like months. I miss it deeply. I miss everything. And at the same time, I am so grateful that I had this profound experience.

Every day from now on, when I wake up, you will be in my prayers brother and I will see you sooner rather than later.

Much love, always.

This feedback is long overdue, but it’s never too late to appreciate something truly memorable.

I spent four amazing weeks at this beautiful hostel in one of the best locations in Quito near the food and fruit market. The historic center is just a short walk away, making it the perfect base to explore the city.

Thank you, Kelly, for giving me… read more

I spent 5 wonderful weeks at this place. Living with Carlos and his wife and daughter was something that I had not experienced in my entire 5 months of traveling in Colombia. It felt like I was living with my own family. My lunch was always ready on time prepared by lovey Ruth. When going out for dinner I was always invited. The place is very well… read more

This place is based in one of Medellin’s chilled and safe neighbourhood. To be honest I am not a city person anymore but there was something about this place and when i spoke to Leo (the manager) to see if the vibe is there, I realised that it was the right decision. I think I killed 2 birds with one stone. The city and this place go hand in hand… read more
