What happens when you combine the spontaneity of bike touring with the expressive soul of a trumpet?
Follow Ines Hartmuth’s unique journey through southern France, where music, movement, and intuition replace rigid plans and routines. It's a story about breaking free from everyday expectations and discovering what emerges when you travel without a fixed itinerary…from playing trumpet for cows in the countryside to connecting with strangers along the way.
Explore how stepping outside comfort zones creates space for creativity, personal growth, and genuine human connection. Whether you're seeking a different rhythm in life or curious about what it means to be truly present, Ines offers inspiration for embracing uncertainty and finding meaning in each moment on the road.
