And then people wanted to hire him.What started off as his own natural therapy turned into Ibiza Hike Station.He now leads groups of locals and visitors on breathtaking hikes to discover the hidden gems of the magical island.These hikes go beyond the ordinary, taking clients along old fishermen's trails 200m above sea level and to secret swimming pools, while also incorporating meditation along the way.Manuel's philosophy in life is "To go far in life you must go light," and he hopes to promote the benefits of nature hikes and share the beauty of the island with hikers worldwide.His goal is to encourage more people to live a longer and happier life through hiking and enjoying nature. As he often says to his hikers: "hike to get high".In our conversation, Manuel shares what it took to leave such a high profile position to follow his true purpose.This is a beautiful story of a man who chose to step into the unknown and walk a path without knowing the destination.It’s a powerful reminder that when we trust the Universe and listen to our hearts, we will never get lost.
