Whether it is a family gathering or a quick pick-up-and-go meal, food plays a huge role in my everyday life. For me, food is a big part of any holiday experience. I’m always curious to try new ingredients or dishes. This means that eating (local) dishes specific to a country, region, or city is a […]

Since I started working from home, cooking has become an activity I enjoy a lot. It has always given me a great way to practice creativity and a safe zone in which I learn to experiment, but now I can also invest the amount of time and energy that I consider appropriate. I try to […]
Good stories bring us face to face with ourselves. They help us discover our faults and quirks but also our strengths and dreams. I started writing letters to those who needed to read beautiful things. To my college colleagues, to an aunt who had an incurable disease, to friends and important people in my life. […]
I’ve always been infatuated with guitars. Guitars of all kinds. I really love how they sound and I often get goosebumps while listening to a good guitar tune. While I was at the university, I lived in a student dormitory and my roommates had always a guitar lying around. We were spending our free time […]
There’s so much out there to explore and experience! For me, travel is a way to recharge my batteries, relax, see new places, learn new things and enjoy new experiences. Seeing the world allows me to get away from my “normal” life and get in touch with myself. It opens my eyes to new perspectives. […]
I don’t even remember precisely the moment I first got interested in painting. I can only say that when I was a little kid, every time I had a pencil in my hands, I used to draw anything and everywhere – on the walls, tables, floors – it was quite a fun activity, even though […]
I played squash for the first time in 2012. My uncle from the United States came to visit, and he found out that we have a squash court in Timisoara (he played in the USA often), and took me to try it. I remember that after the first 10 minutes I needed a sugar break […]
I don’t remember exactly when I first started doing DIY projects, but I was a kid, probably around 6-7 years old. I used to spend time with my grandfather in his workshop and I played with wood and wire. I also tried to create jewelry pieces with wire and broken stones that I used to […]
I’ve always known about the existence of Formula 1. Who doesn’t? Even people who don’t watch F1 have heard of champions like Schumacher, Sena, or Prost. As I grew up I followed some races from time to time, but I was not quite what you can call an F1 fanboy. That changed in 2017. I […]
Ping Pong is everyone’s sport I started playing ping-pong a long time ago. Do you remember those concrete ping pong tables that we had in almost every park? That is where it all started for me. In the beginning, I was just standing around a concrete ping pong table watching people bounce a ball back […]
