About Me

I am a versatile person with various passions, knowledges and ambitions. I value experiences more than material possessions and I'm always looking for new challenges to keep life interesting. I hate routine and prefer a good dose of randomness every day. I don't make snap decisions about people or situations. I always appreciate a good conversation about anything with interesting and intelligent people. I can easily adapt to people and situations and can usually get on with everyone.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode a hot air balloon at sunrise in one of the most magical places in the world - Luxor, Egypt.

I was lucky enough to get tickets and attended to 2014's Glastonbury Festival - which is in my opinion (and many others') the greatest festival in the world

Rode a motorbike in Saigon in rush hour

Snorkel the amazing bio-luminescent plankton in southern Thailand

Explored the amazing temples of Angkor in Cambodia

Swam with whale sharks in Philippines

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a few things about the Romanian history and culture and I look forward to the opportunity to share that.

I can teach about digital photography, web technologies and other geeky stuff, and of course Romanian language.

I love to engage in conversations and debate ideas of science, politics, economics, culture, environment, philosophy and pretty much anything interesting.

What I Can Share with Hosts
