Meet host: Oscar andoni Alonso delgado
Sophia is a published author, spoken word artist and musician. She has lived and travelled across the Mediterranean, the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas, including time in Bhutan. Nature, community and folk tradition have been her anchor wherever she's gone.
On this journey she holds space for the group's sharing and reflection, weaving music, spoken word and storytelling into the experience. Not as performance, but as a way of dropping you fully into yourself, so you can meet what's actually there.
Her words are deep, confronting, yet warm and inviting. As Oscar puts it: "When Sophia speaks, I listen attentively. There are just a few people who reach my heart with their presence, energy and words. She’s one of those. She will always share and say what is important to say, which makes her unique"
This will be Sophia's first time in Nepal. She's not coming as the expert on the mountain. She's coming as someone who knows what it means to step into the unknown, because she's done it her whole life.

€12. That's what a porter earns for a full day in the Himalayas. 8 hours of walking. 30kg on their back. 3000 metres of altitude. From that €12 they still pay for their own food and lodging.
Quality shoes are not on their priority list. Their family is.
"We handed out shoes and we wrote our appreciation on a note for every single hero — so they would remember that we see them. That we’re not here just as tourist and consuming. But to actually give something back. They make this possible"- Oscar Alonso Delgado
A Mindful Move is a non-profit initiative by A Neverending Journey. We collect and distribute hiking shoes and essential gear directly to the porters, guides and sherpas of Nepal both men and women. The youngest 16 and the oldest 65. Doing it all for their living and to make the guest feel welcome and supported. Time to give back.
100+ pairs delivered to the mountain community. We're going back. Be part of the movement

Challenging but doable, we carry our own clothes and backpack. The Himalayas there’s a lot of ups and downs. They call it “Nepali flat”. HA. Anyways, we’ve taken people with vertigo and astma who were still able to pull it off. It’s more of a mental game, besides that, we will be preparing you as good as we can. Again, challenging but doable. You can always reach out to us if there’s a specific question regarding this.

In the cities we’re staying in hotels where you will be sharing a room. This is part of our connecting policy. During the trek we’ll be staying in teahouses, simple accommodations where we will eat and have breakfast before we head out.
