Program Details

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).
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 (5,5 years old) and Yago (3,5 years old) who are our sunshine, and a big dog, Nubo
