SC-S29|Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 1: The Origin Point

_{Ferme Ibrahim, our camp base in Sidi Khalifa the origin point of my Geo-Quest Mystery journey.}

Hello Steemians,

This post is my entry for Geo-Quest Mystery Week 1: The Origin Point.
Every explorer begins somewhere meaningful.
For me, that place is Ferme Ibrahim, in Sidi Khalifa, Tunisia.

Nature, animals, food, history, and silence meet here and shape the way I explore the world.

My Origin Point Ferme Ibrahim, Sidi Khalifa

Ferme Ibrahim is a rural farm surrounded by open land and mountains.
It became our camp base, the place where we cooked, rested, and returned after every exploration.

For me, an Origin Point is not where I travel the farthest,
but where my way of exploring was born.

At Ferme Ibrahim, I learned to slow down, to observe animals, land, fire, and silence.
This place shaped how I explore everywhere else.

This is where my Geo-Quest Mystery journey truly begins.

A Short Explorer Story

Out of busy routines, I found peace in places like this.
Between animals, fire, and shared meals, I felt grounded.
Slow moments taught me to observe carefully.
Every path outside the camp revealed something new.
Rural life reshaped my curiosity.
Viewing nature calmly became natural.
Each return to camp felt meaningful.
Rooted here, my journey began.

I see myself as a slow explorer, more interested in understanding places than collecting them.
Observation comes before movement, and Ferme Ibrahim taught me that.

Learning from Nature

Into the Mountains

How I Feel With Animals at Ferme Ibrahim

Being surrounded by animals at Ferme Ibrahim changes the way I feel inside.
There is no noise, no pressure, and no rush.

Animals do not judge, they do not hurry life.
They accept presence, calm, and respect.

When I spend time with them, I feel grounded and connected to something real.
Each animal has its own character, its own rhythm, and its own way of communicating.

These moments remind me that simplicity is powerful,
and that living close to animals brings peace and balance.
