Along the path up the mountain, besides places marked as spirit dwellings, we encounter unusually shaped stones. For example, this huge stone resembles a reclining girl. And of course, this stone automatically became sacred.
In my view, this is great, as such an approach not only cultivates a sense of beauty and unity with nature but also helps preserve these unique places for future generations.
For digital nomads, these encounters offer more than just a break from our screens. They provide valuable insights into local culture and perspectives, which can enrich our work and interactions with clients or colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

Traveler’s Tip: Offerings to spirits: Incense, food, and drinks (in a bottle with a straw). These can be bought at the bottom, in the square at the entrance to the holy mountain.
For fellow digital nomads, observing and respecting local customs can open doors to deeper connections and experiences. Have you ever encountered sacred or revered natural formations during your travels? How did it impact your perception of the place you were working from?
Remember, one of the unique advantages of our lifestyle is the opportunity to witness and learn from diverse cultural practices. These experiences can often spark creativity and provide fresh perspectives that benefit our work and personal growth.
Share your own experiences with local beliefs and customs you’ve encountered while working abroad. Your insights could be invaluable to other traveling professionals!
