About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Other than the love of your parents, you are entitled to nothing, so work hard, do the right thing, expect to prove yourself over and over, and you'll be fine

ABOUT ME

outgoing person, day dreamer and fond of most things in this world: propose me something about food and art and I'll say yes without thinking twice :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless." Paul Bowles

books: Voyage au bout de la nuit (Céline), La Divina Commedia (Dante Alighieri), Waiting for Godot (Beckett)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

European Film Festival in Seville 2008: 21 films in 7 days (5 of them spent working 9 hours per day)!!
travelling alone from Bucarest to the Black Sea: 8 hours sitting on my backpack in the corridor of the train

Teach, Learn, Share

teach: italian, spanish, decoupage and pochoir (that is to say decoration on wood, walls or any other surface you want to give life to!)
learn: french, romenian, traditonal dances from every part of the world!
share: I like to sing a lot. So if you have a guitar and you need a voice...
