About Us

That's our life! We're Marina (the creative heart with a weakness for gelato) and Jan (tech-savvy with a love for lakeside runs, wims and occasional surf).  Throw in our kids Lina and Ben, and that's our slightly chaotic, always joyful crew!

Marina's heart skipped a beat in that little town of Limone sul Garda... the food, the views, that Italian warmth!  Turns out, Jan secretly loved it too. (especially when there's watersports involved and the cold beers afterwards).  Somehow we've made it work –  a cozy Munich base and a home filled with the scent of lemons in Italy.

Our blog is where we share the messy, the magical, and the how-the-heck-do-we-do-it moments of our two-country life.  From finding that perfect fixer-upper  to figuring out how  things  feel when school starts for the kids.

Most importantly, we believe that you can chase those big dreams too, the ones that seem a little wild. A different life is possible – and we're here to show you how we doing it.
