There are 177 different nationalities represented in Tasmania's population and in this podcast we try to talk with one person from each one, and find out about why they came to Tasmania, what they brought with them ( experiences, culture, traditions, skills, ideas etc), and their experiences of settling on a small and fairly isolated island state not known for being very multicultural. These are authentic stories from people from all corners of the globe who have made Tasmania their home and cover the full gamut of the migrant experience.

Oren from Israel : Being able to turn down the volume
Oren was living in the middle of Melbourne with his partner during the COVID pandemic, when the city was put into regular lockdowns. This heightened the feeling of being stuck in a concrete jungle, and though not the only reason, it got Oren thinking about making a change. In 2021 he followed his partner down to Tassie, where she did a permaculture course and they did a farmstay down at Cygnet for 8 months...and the rest is history, as they say.Oren originally came to Australia to study Audio Engineering, and music and sound have been very much a part of his life. Indeed, some of his teenage musical influences lead him to questioning some of the aspects of Israeli society. This questioning came to a head when he left school and faced the obligatory 3 years' military service. Through a mixture of protest and negotiation, he ended up spending his time in a desk job in the Air Force. By the end of it, he was ready to jump back into the world of music and entertainment, and 18 months later he made the life-changing decision to move to Melbourne.Original music produced and composed by Oren Gerassi.https://borcho.com/ear-stimulants/
