Speakers Marco Airaghi and Anton Anderssen.
Join me at EMAG 2025 as I share my journey from the storied streets of Europe to the sun-kissed shores of Waikiki, Hawaii. Growing up amidst the rich history and cultural vibrancy of Europe, I was molded by its traditions and rhythms—but it was in Waikiki that I discovered a life of relaxed wonder, where each day unfolds with the promise of tropical bliss and community warmth. In my talk, I’ll explore the striking contrasts between the old-world charm of Europe and the laid-back, endlessly inspiring spirit of Hawaii, inviting you to experience how embracing change and following your heart can lead to an unexpected paradise. Join me and discover why living in Waikiki isn’t just a retreat from life, but a celebration of it.
