About Me


I used to be an enthusiastic traveler, to the most distant lands of Mother Terra, until I realized that places are not important, people are important! The story is that people are the ones who teach us the lesson. Once you learn the lesson, everything is reflected towards your own essence and the real journey inside begins. The trip has an all-inclusive that is not about comfort, but once you feel the state of grace no other offer is tempting! No, only time travel makes me smile !!

ABOUT ME

My dear fellow travelers, my travels have touched my soul.

As haphazard details I am born in the country of Zarand in Transylvania in Romania, and now I live more north to Cluj Napoca city voted by the Daily Mail the most friendly with foreigners city in Europe.

No matter if you believe in Dracula or stories about vampires in Transilvania, your escape here is to use as much garlic and local homemade brandy (palinca-țuica-horinca). Appearance is often misleading... , so my guests describe real me, more authentic than I' ll ever do.
The most important thing about me, is that I am lucky, I love and respect everything that surrounds me.

PHILOSOPHY

Come on, let me tell you what traveling means to me!!
My motivation to travel is to get to know myself through the reflection of the people I meet by observing the nature and people lifestyle. For me to travel is a form of to be and living in the moment, to travel means to act and responsibility.
Traveling helps me to ground myself in nature, to discover my own authentic reality.
It is fantastic because in the end I discover to be grateful for what I have, for what I am, I learn how little I need, I discover what it means to trust people and myself, I discover living between love and fear.
For me to travel is the instinctual call of life as essence as the old spirit of the migratory peoples and the great explorers of undiscovered places or consciousness. For me to travel is the challenge of seeing the unknown through my own experience, of giving my own interpretation of everything that is beyond preconceived ideas, social trends and pressures.
From my point of view, traveling is to change the state of open mind to the level of open heart.
