From Karachi to Toronto to the Algarve: Marketer, DJ and Artist Marium 2.5-Month Coliving Stay at POMAR coliving

Marium Masood is a marketer, DJ, poet, filmmaker and ukulele player from Toronto
originally from Karachi, Pakistan. Two years ago she left the nine-to-five to go self-employed, so she could finally stop choosing between a client call and a DJ set at 2am.
She came to POMAR Na Praia for 2.5 months looking for solitude and creative space. She’s not a morning person. She doesn’t cook. She wasn’t sure she even wanted to be around people.
What she found was the opposite of what she planned — and exactly what she needed.
During her stay she signed new clients, got a poem accepted for publication, DJ-ed on an island, advanced a short film, and wrote songs. She also became the kind of person who seeks out poolside conversations before her first coffee.
This is what 2.5 months of coliving in south Portugal looks like when life decides to surprise you.
