Eastern Tent 2018

In the Eastern Tent time goes slower. What matters is meeting another person ? the close one, just next to us and the distant one, who we might not even ever meet eye-to-eye. We often travel to remote corners of the world, but we also have time to reflect upon why are we doing this and what do we gain from it. Please feel welcomed to join us!
