Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel and see all that this world has to offer!
ABOUT ME
I'm originally from Romania, but I've been in the US since I was 7 (Chicago area). I love to travel, explore, and meet new people! I am on a spiritual path to discovery (as we all hopefully are). Connecting with myself, people around me, and the world. I am learning more every day. I believe the healthcare system is not focusing on the right things and I am dedicating myself to learning as much as I can about natural healing, alternative therapies, and preventative care. I hope with my knowledge and powers I can help as many people as possible!
PHILOSOPHY
20's: Minimalism is KEY! I believe in breaking habits, keeping an open mind, and going with the flow that is life!
30's: Balance is KEY! Knowing when to stop and when to go, yin/yang. Letting go of control. Living as much as possible in the present moment.
Interests
I love watching movies, discovering new things/ places, having drinks with friends, and meeting new people!

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm into folk, instrumental, old country and whatever else the mood strikes me. Some favorite bands/ musicians are Band of Horses, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Andrea Bocelli, Active Child, Sigur Ros, Dido, Norah Jones, Bon Iver, Frank Sinatra...
I love to read, fiction/ non-fiction, cookbooks:). Fav authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Dostoevsky, Orson Scott Card, Douglas Adams, Thich Nhat Hanh, etc. I like books that open my mind and expand my knowledge.
Big movie buff (working at a video store was one of my favorite jobs!). I'll watch most genres but my favs are sci fi/fantasy, foreign, and movies that leave you saying "whaaaaat?!!" at the end or stay on your mind for days! :) Some favs are the Fifth Element, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Amelie, Into the Wild, Mr Nobody, Swiss Army Man.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being born:)
Teach, Learn, Share
I guess I'm more of a nurturing soul and I like to help people in whatever way I can (massage, teach yoga/ meditation, hand healing, and so on), though I do have a wild hippy side to me ! Lately I've been experimenting with cooking (following a recipe all the way through) and making herbal teas and tinctures.
