From Uganda with Love: How exploring the Country's hidden gems helped me create an Unforgettable Retreat!
Have you ever heard the saying, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life?' Well, that's exactly how I felt during my recent trip to Uganda.
As an ardent explorer, transformational coach, and founder of Dream Catcher Global, my recent trip to Uganda was not only exploration for our Dream Catcher adventure retreat in September, 'Discover the ‘You’ inside yourself,' but so much more.
It provided an opportunity to feel and experience the vibrant energy of the people, the stunning beauty of the landscapes, and the rich cultural traditions that make Uganda truly unique and transformative.
As I stepped off the plane, I was immediately greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the rest of my journey. I had a strong feeling that this journey was going to be about more than just experiencing new sights and sounds.
It was going to be a transformative experience, not just for me, but for anyone who decides to join me on our inaugural retreat in September.
During my time in Uganda, I was captivated by the natural beauty and unique culture of this remarkable country. I had the opportunity to explore the lush African plains, gaze out at the stunning lakeshores, and savor the delightful aroma of Uganda's exceptional teas. It quickly became clear why Uganda is known as the 'Pearl of Africa.' The warmth and hospitality of the locals, coupled with the country's breathtaking scenery, left an indelible impression on me.
As I explored Uganda, I had the privilege of participating in several awe-inspiring adventures that will be included in our upcoming adventure retreat in September. Pedaling through Uganda's stunning nature on a cycling safari surrounded by graceful giraffes, majestic zebras, and an array of fascinating wildlife was undoubtedly a highlight. Additionally, hiking along the serene lakeshores and picturesque countryside landscapes provided a peaceful and meditative experience that allowed me to connect with nature on a deep level.
But what truly made this visit special was the chance to connect with the local community and learn about their culture and traditions. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms and made to feel like part of the family. Whether I was visiting a local village or exploring the bustling city of Kampala, I was always met with smiles and friendly faces.
The kindness and warmth of the Ugandan people, and the rich culture that permeates every aspect of life here was simply extraordinary. I had the unique opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture by spending a day in a village, gaining an authentic experience of their daily routine. This unforgettable experience left a profound impression on me, providing a deep appreciation for the resilience and warmth of the people in Uganda.

From the vibrant traditional dances to the tantalizing local food, I eagerly embarked on a culinary adventure, determined to savor the authentic flavors of the region. I indulged in steamed green bananas, known as matooke, as well as the delectable groundnut sauce made with peanuts, making it my mission to fully immerse myself in the local cuisine. The food was flavorful and fresh, a testament to the organic farming practices that are common in Uganda.
Throughout the trip, I was struck by the transformative power of travel. Being in a new environment, surrounded by new sights, sounds, and experiences, allowed me to gain a fresh perspective on my life and my goals. It's this transformative power that we hope to share with our retreat participants, providing them with the space and support to connect with their inner selves and achieve breakthroughs in their personal growth.
