    Description

    Hello, we are Tai, Olga, Maya, Yago & Nubo !

    We have been sharing our life and dreams for ten years now, building our life and projects together.
    Tai is originally from Israel but he has lived 9 years in Italy (Florence), and for the last 13 years in Barcelona (Spain). Olga is originally from Barcelona (Spain), but she has lived abroad for some years in Germany (Berlin), England (Bristol), Madrid and Malta. We both have an artistic and creative background and we love to travel and the adventure of getting to know different places with different cultures. Between the two of us we speak seven languages.

    We have experience in living off-grid for many years and cultivating our own food working and taking care of our big vegetable garden, being as much self-sufficient as possible.
    We run an Artist Residency Program in the Pre-Pyrenees during the months of Spring and Summer, coming both from an artistic background. We recently bought a beautiful Finca in Tarragona province (Baix Penedès) with the aim to move our project Nectar there in the new location within the next year.
    We have two kids, Maya (4,5 years old) and Yago (2,5 years old) who are our sunshine.
    We also have an hilarious, friendly and big Mastiff of Pyrenees dog (Nubo), and three chickens.

    We have been running our non-profit cultural organization with our Artist in Residence Program in the area of Pre-Pyrenees (Catalonia, Spain) for 7 years now.
    At the beginning of 2023 we bought a beautiful Finca with 4hectares filled of Olive trees and other fruit trees where we will move our Project within the next couple of years, located in Tarragona province, in a beautiful rural and isolated setting very well connected with all the services and just 20min from the beach.
