Teenage Adventures in Tel Aviv:
By 15, my craving for exploration took me solo to Tel Aviv, where a summer on a Kibbutz and hitchhiking to distant cousins unveiled a tapestry of freedom, love, and an indescribable connection. The open road became my classroom, and each encounter, a lesson in the richness of human connection.
Healing in the Moroccan Mountains:
At 18, Morocco beckoned for a 6-month stay, a journey that would alter the course of my life. A motorbike mishap in the mountains introduced me to the healing touch of a Berber family, igniting a fascination with the magical world of plants and herbs. In less than a week, their ancient remedies transformed my injured leg, and I was hooked on the power of natural healing.
Life's Constant Threads:
Since those transformative moments, travel, adventure, ancient wisdom, and local healing traditions have been the threads weaving through my life. Whether watching the sunrise in a distant land, foraging in jungles, crafting clay pots from earth collected with my own hands, or feeling the unique connection of an indigenous community beneath starlit skies, each experience has been a catalyst for personal transformation.
Embracing Life's Offerings:
I've learned that transformation doesn't wait for us; it's woven into the fabric of every unexpected sunrise, every shared meal, and every star-studded night. So, I decided to bring together all my passions, and thus, Arkümu was born — a sanctuary where wanderers, dreamers, and seekers of transformation can embrace the magic that life, in all its beauty and diversity, has to share.

Hello I'm Dawn,
The Wanderer Behind Arkümu
As a double Sagittarius, my destiny was etched in the stars — a life destined for exploration. From my earliest memories, the allure of different cultures, ancient traditions, and lands steeped in indigenous history has been a magnetic force pulling me forward.
The Beach in Italy:
At the tender age of 3, fate led me to an Italian beach where I found more than just sand and waves. Lost, but in the warm embrace of an Italian family, I discovered a sense of home and belonging. That pivotal moment sparked a fire within me, a knowing that there was a vast world awaiting exploration beyond the boundaries of my birth family.
