Cycling: a new way to disconnect and reconnect

Written by

Catarina

As the days are getting longer, and plants have started to bloom, it’s the best time of the year to spring forward by heading out on your bike. Jumping on a bike and riding to a new (remote) and exciting location can give you a sense of freedom that can only be felt from the saddle of a bicycle. Feel the fresh air in your hair and the dopamine as you push yourself through the outdoors and take in the scenic views around you.

Our philosophy of biking

At Nutchel, our guests change the way they live for a couple of days, create simple emotions and reconnect to what really matters. This experience can be related to the way bike lovers feel when they bike. In fact, when bikers ride, they feel magic, and their thoughts are lighter. They become a part of what surrounds them and connect with nature.


So how can one connect with nature by biking?

Spending a couple hours on the trails can help you get away from the stresses of everyday life by connecting with nature. The freedom you experience when biking out in nature can remind you of how big the world is and remind you of all the things to be grateful for.

Take the time to take in the views, the smells and the sounds of nature while you cycle. Pay attention to what is around you and bring your senses to life. Embrace nature for its beauty, even if it’s a splash of mud or rain on your face! Take it all in and slow down.
