'I have been in Liverpool now for little over a week, and the welcome I received here has been truly wonderful. In The Netherlands, you’re encouraged as a young researcher to spend a few weeks to a few months at a foreign university to expand your intellectual horizons and get feedback on your work by experts in the field. The publications of IPM researchers have been very helpful in my research on music tourism, and that is why I really wanted to spend some time here and discuss the main issues and questions related to music tourism.

Luckily, my professional life is immersed in music which certainly helps understanding the field and I have relatively easy access to respondents. I would like to share two events which have been particularity fruitful for my research in the last few months.
