What happens when a digital nomad turns her passion for connection into a business that bridges worlds? 🌍

In this episode, César chats with Marie Tuason, a Filipina entrepreneur and marketer based in Valencia who’s redefining how remote workers experience travel through Kaya Connections — co-creation retreats that blend work, wellness, and authentic cultural immersion.

Marie shares her eight-year journey across Europe and beyond, from engineering to marketing to running retreats in the Philippines and Ecuador. She opens up about navigating visas and identity, the privilege of mobility, and how nomads can build communities that respect and include locals.

We also dive into her views on burnout, “monk mode,” and why meaningful work-life balance happens in seasons — not days. Whether you’re building a co-living, planning a retreat, or simply seeking purpose in movement, this episode offers grounded insights and inspiration for intentional nomadism.

What does “home” mean when the world is your workspace? 🌿✨

🌿 Would you turn your coliving into a non-profit?

That’s exactly what Stefanie Prossinger did at Eco-living Finca La Palmera in Tarifa, Spain. 💛

In this episode, we talk about:

✨ Why she shifted from a traditional business to an association.

✨ The joys and challenges of running a coliving alone (with a little help from Milo 🐕).

✨ Building everything from a Yoga platform to a calisthenics park by hand.

✨ How slowing down, living with nature, and staying at least a month changes the whole experience.

Stefanie’s vision? A network of colivings across Europe (and beyond) sharing the same values of community, well-being, and harmony with nature. 🌍
