Valencia rewards people who take their time with it. It's not a city that puts all its best stuff in the obvious places, which means a bit of wandering goes a long way. The creative community here is genuinely welcoming, the cost of living is reasonable compared to most European cities of this size, and the Mediterranean light makes everything look better than it probably deserves to. If you're thinking about spending a longer stretch here, you won't be the first creative to arrive for a week and start looking at apartments.

I recently moved to Barcelona and was looking for ways to meet new people in the city. The Creative Lunch is such a convenient and fun way to meet new people! I learnt a lot from the other two, who have been here much longer than I have. I can't wait for the next one!

I moved to Brussels a year and a half ago, from a small town, to pursue more photography opportunities. The Creative Lunch Club has been instrumental in helping me connect with other creatives and discover the wonders of this city. Sharing lunch with like-minded creatives has opened up new ideas and perspectives for me. The passion and energy from these gatherings never fail to inspire and motivate me.

I am an East London girl with a busy life and have found it hard to meet like-minded creatives but after only using the creativelunchclub once, I met one of my soul mates. Not only are we doing some collaborating with her being a singer and myself working in fashion and modelling which has all been really useful but we have also become best friends. Loved my experience and would highly recommend it for anyone that wants to network in the creative ares and you never know, you might meet your bestie too.
