Hello, dear friends! :)
My name is Raluca, or you can call me by my middle name, Andreea, if it's easier for you. I am 24 years old, from Brasov, Romania.

I grew up in a small city and always tried to find my way around, to find the right people, right place for me. Even if I tried taking part in different groups of people, adopting different styles, I always felt like I couldn't fit in, something deep within was missing and I couldn't figure out what.

After I finished high school, I was even more confused about college and what am I going to do in the future. Of course everyone was going to college, but I just felt it was not right thing for me. So with a lot of financial and emotional support of my parents I was able to move in Brasov, a city in the middle of Romania surrounded by nature. Only then my life started to change completely and irreversible. I just left everything to be, stopped to force myself, to rush things and then is when life kicked me. I met a very special person with whom I found myself. I started to do volunteering, hiking, a lot of camping, enjoying little things and getting to know people who really inspired me and gave me a boost to be a better person. Last two years were decisive for me, everything happened with and for a higher purpose, I felt like everything is connected and I felt like I belonged everywhere, doesn't matter the place doesn't matter the season. I feel like I was made for something way up higher than simple corporatist jobs, rushed cities and all the marketing around. I started to become more aware of the environment, trying to go zero waste, vegan, buying local; I want to learn gardening, building eco friendly house, taking care of animals etc. At the moment I am always ready to take new opportunities, I am very spontaneous and I love to find myself "lost" in a train going somewhere new, writing and watching the life happening, admiring people, nature, it is the most fulfilling emotion I have ever reached, always bursting me into tears. I am not used to say so many things about me, but getting to know the person that you are going to host means a lot, so that is why I try to be as accurate as possible. I am open-minded, always ready to help, empathic, kind and always smiling. I hope you enjoyed my "self centred" description and i hope you will be as happy as I am to get to know each other. :)
