I grew up in the country side of Republic of Moldova, currently living and working in Bucharest, Romania. I like hikes in the mountains, kayaking, biking; and I'm learning to use my slackline and roller blades.

I'm a member of a historical reenactment organisation from Cluj, so I'm a sarmatian warrior in times of war, and a bone carver and leatherworker in times of peace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet new people, and see new places. I have a goal of learning as many crafts as possible, and I like to scour flea markets for old tools - if you have such a place nearby, I'd like to be your guest.

Interests

I still can't do forge welding - I'd be forever grateful if you can teach me that.
My cooking is spot on about 40%; 40% is meh, 15% just eadible, and ~5% I got to thow stuff away, because of the shame and health concerns.
