"Soñé que, tras subir una pequeña montaña, en la cima había una especie de santuario, similar al edificio del parque Colomos. En la entrada, como esperándome, estaba mi tío Alberto, quien falleció hace unos años. Su apariencia era un poco extraña, tenía una mirada que no era propiamente la suya, suponía que era porque ya había muerto y era su forma espectral, tal vez como en la película de Beetlejuice."

"I dreamt that after climbing a small mountain, at the summit there was a kind of sanctuary, similar to the building in Colomos Park. At the entrance, as if waiting for me, was my uncle Alberto, who passed away a few years ago. His appearance was a bit strange, he had a look that wasn’t quite his own, I supposed it was because he had died and it was his spectral form, perhaps like in the movie Beetlejuice."

Posible interpretación: Este sueño puede estar explorando temas de conexión con el más allá y el legado emocional de los seres queridos que han fallecido. El hecho de que tu tío te estuviera esperando en la cima de una montaña, un lugar que suele simbolizar logros y revelaciones espirituales sugiere que podrías estar buscando o necesitando orientación o aprobación de aquellos que ya no están físicamente contigo. La apariencia espectral y la mirada extraña de tu tío podrían reflejar tus sentimientos internos sobre la muerte y el proceso de duelo, posiblemente indicando que aún estás procesando su partida o buscando comprensión sobre la muerte y el más allá. Este sueño invita a reflexionar sobre cómo las memorias y presencias de aquellos que hemos perdido continúan influyendo en nuestras vidas y decisiones.

Mount Emei, with an altitude of over 3,000 meters, took 18 hours of hiking, over 40,000 steps, heavy rain and cold wind, and finally I completed the climb. It was a thrilling adventure with many wonderful memories.

As a coach, my greatest moment of joy occurs when my coachee connects with me. That moment when we both arrive on the same page in the coachee’s story of growth and improvement. For some, the moment is instantaneous, as soon as we meet. For others, the moment takes more work to arrive at but, in some ways it is sweeter and much more rewarding when it does happen. To visualize that latter…

How Long Does It Take to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro? A Guide for Beginners

Conquering the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro is a dream for many, but understanding the duration of the climb is essential for planning your trip. In this blog post, we'll delve into the factors that influence the length of a Kilimanjaro trek and provide a breakdown of the average timeframes for different routes.

Factors Affecting the Duration of a Kilimanjaro Climb
