Meet the Team

Heart and Soul of the Project. Here is the Dream(time) Team

This project has been created and written by Denis and Emiliano, two travellers with a passion for story-telling and video-making. In order to make their Australian dream come true, they’ve asked two friends to join them in this new adventure, and thus the Italian DreamTeam (pun intended) was formed. Thanks to those people all the videos and amazing content from Australia were provided to you.
