I have built the thing from nothing six times.

In Da Nang I built two from zero and still run both: an ecstatic dance series and a local community. Before that, a travel company that moved sixty thousand young people across Europe, and a festival that filled a Belgrade sports hall with twenty thousand people. I am not a consultant who reads about this. I have done it, with my own money, and I have made every mistake once.

The Short Version

Vision backed by numbers.

I started putting on events at nineteen in Serbia. Nightclubs, foam festivals, New Year's Eve for thousands of people. By twenty five I had co-founded a youth travel company in Eastern Europe, and we moved more than 60,000 people across the continent. I took that model to New York. Then I left it all for financial markets, where I learned to think in risk, systems and unit economics, and to stop confusing a busy night with a good business.

Now I live in Da Nang, Vietnam, and I am building from zero again: a conscious event series, and a community with more than 4,200 members and followers across its WhatsApp group and channel. Every one of them is the same problem underneath. Give people a reason to care, a room to walk into, and a reason to come back.

Life of Da Nang & Extaticaa

Community and events, Da Nang & Hoi An, Vietnam, 2024 to now

I built Life of Da Nang from nothing. It has more than 4,200 members and followers across its WhatsApp group and channel. People use it to find a doctor, a flat, a friend. lifeofdanang.com grew out of it: a weekly local paper of sorts, and a page for every business we feature. More than seventy Da Nang businesses are featured so far.

Extaticaa is the other half. Ecstatic dance, movement and gatherings across Da Nang and Hoi An. Every event is the same puzzle: sound, room, order of things, and the moment a stranger stops watching and starts dancing. One of them was Studio 54 Disco New Year 2025, hosted at Premier Village Da Nang (Accor).
