CURRENT MISSION

Living the dream

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town in Western Romania, on the border with Hungary. As a child, I was fortunate enough to have parents who loved traveling and took me and my brother with them on every trip.
After high school, I moved to the USA where I attended college. I graduated in May 2010 and then lived in Beijing for a year, working as an English teacher. I recently received my MA in European Studies at the University of Amsterdam.
I am friendly, open-minded and curious to meet new people. I love traveling, reading, going out with friends, learning new languages, scuba diving, movies and anything that is new.
At the moment I'm looking for the next adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
