Slow Mover and Master Networker

Adventurous couple and our only desire is to see new places and meet new people and experience new cultures. We are collecting memories.

Over the years, I embarked on exhilarating tours across Europe, the USA, and Australia, leading a dynamic folk rock band based in Melbourne, Australia. This remarkable journey, enriched with a diverse group of international musicians, took us through numerous continents. One of the most heartwarming experiences during this time was playing at private house concerts. These intimate settings allowed for a deep connection between us and the audience. As I transitioned away from my band, I held onto the dream of recreating this magical atmosphere. Now, I am bringing that dream to life, offering both musicians and audiences a space to forge genuine connections through the universal language of music. Now I curate top-tier musicians, showcase captivating art exhibitions, and organize poetic brunches, intimate dinners and vibrant summer club parties. Each event is graced with surprise guest musicians, artists or guest speakers and all set against the stunning backdrop of sunsets, the ocean, forests, and lush gardens.

I made the move to Europe around 6 years ago, and love every minute of it. I am fully aware how difficult it is to navigate the rules and regulations associated with becoming an expat and want to help others achieve their dream.
