About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel, to learn, to live, to love, to enjoy all that cannot be enjoyed when we stand still.

ABOUT ME

I spent my younger years studying classical piano. After university, I pursued a graduate degree in music business and worked for record labels for 8 years. After being downsized, I began my own consultancy business helping artists and musicians, as well as other small business, manage their online presence and navigate through the digital landscape, creating online strategies.

My passion, in the end, is music. I've lived and breathed music since I was 5 years old, and really all I would ever want to do for the rest of my life. When I took my first international travel in 2006 to China, it sparked a fire in me, to see as much of the world as possible. It just so happened, not too far away, I fell in love with London, Berlin, and Munich.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love thy neighbor. Make love, not war.
