About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel and share our happiness with the world!

ABOUT ME

Gianela is a law student and Ernesto is a music teacher, we both love music of course. Gianela is also a very good cooker, and we are always in search of exotic and new food (we are vegans). Always ready for the next adventure, we love travelling and also being visited wherever we are.

We can give very-special-private-mini-concerts to our hosts/guests (only of you want): Ernesto plays the accordion and Gianela is a percussionist and singer. We specialize in playing different kinds of folk music, and composing our own music, based on several influences. Gianela can also cook very well (vegan), so we can organize a very special evening of music & food!

PHILOSOPHY

We are not tourists, we are travellers
