The Soul's Retreat: A Doctors Without Borders Volunteer's 10-Day Search for Quietude in Taiwan
In April 2024, we had the honor of welcoming a truly remarkable guest: Mr. M, a distinguished 70-year-old gentleman from Israel. Mr. M is no ordinary traveler; he is both a respected psychologist and a dedicated volunteer with Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), having served in over 50 countries worldwide. After years of facing relentless pressure and challenges on the front lines, he chose Taiwan as his sanctuary—a ten-day retreat to momentarily step away from the daily grind and find quietude and relaxation. This trust was a profound honor, inspiring us to meticulously craft a deeply restorative journey connecting the very best of Western Taiwan.
