The most wonderful times I had with Far Away Nearby Travel was being with people I didn’t know! Sharing new experiences with each other created an atmosphere of wonderment. Each day there were multiple surprises as we were treated to delicious meals in inviting settings, a traditional Moroccan spa and massage time, and exploring the shops in the narrow alleys of the Medina. One of my favorite activities was riding a camel. Their big eye with one inch long eye lashes looking at me was so kind.
The Atlas Mountain’s Kasbah du Toubkal is a hidden treasure. Arriving at night we couldn’t see the layout of the Kasbah, only the steep dusty, and rocky curvaceous trail. Memories were made practicing meditation and yoga in the early morning and evening. A couple of hikes among the walnut groves and apple orchards with vistas of the surrounding terraced farms and mountains made me feel grounded and part about of the environment. A trip with Kimberly is a must.

My trip with Kimberly to Morocco was truly lovely. I enjoyed the trip immensely. The people that gathered were all wonderful bringing their individual personalities which enhanced the experiences-this takes effort as well! . I especially enjoyed the Kasbah and Imlil village, especially the day of cooking in the Berber home and hiking the surrounding hills. Kimberly has got all the right tools and heart to handcraft amazing trips and bring joyful experiences to all she touches and influences.

Green Gulch is magical. When you drive down the tree-engulfed ridge, you feel as if you’ve entered a yogic version of Brigadoon. The cadence of the day flows perfectly and is a lush mix of rigor and relaxation. Kimberly’s vibe is fantastic, the yoga is enriching and the Green Gulch experience remains with you.

Taking time off my rigorous work schedule to immerse in a four day retreat is a rare experience. It is a once in a life time experience. Fortunately, for me, I have had several of these life time experiences.

I've always wanted to see and experience Morocco and I was turning 50 so the timing of this retreat could not have been more ideal. The itinerary provided the perfect balance of yoga, food, shopping, and cultural immersion into what best represents Morocco: the medieval city, spacious desert and rugged mountains.
Kimberly Paul creates highly curated experiences that offer adventure and inspiration for the open-minded traveler. She pours her heart and soul into the fine details which make her retreats unique, personable and her own. I am grateful to her for these memories, what a beautiful and exotic place not to be missed in this lifetime.

Thank you for your fabulous and thoroughly inspiring retreat..or shall I say whole body and mind TREAT?!! Inspiration through the yoga, land, people (from both near and far) food and experiences. I am deeply grateful for the energy, time and patience with which you took to carefully plan the Todos Santos adventure. Perfect for our short visit...amazing what we did in two days and two half days if you ask me. Thank you Kimberly! Your spirit, life experiences, and background are what make you you so special. . Wow are we all SO lucky! Nothing like coming home from a mini-vacay and feeling better than when you left! DO this and DO it again!

Todos Santos, Pachamama and Kimberly Paul yoga are all amazing. The best part of the retreat was everything was taken care of once you arrived. All you needed to do was show up for yoga, meals, treatments, relaxation in the beauty of Pachamama and more. If there were a hundred stars I will give this retreat all of them.
