About me

I spend most of my time outdoors as I don’t have a conventional job which would imply working 8-10 hours/day. I get involved in different projects and I volunteer for cycling competitions. Like I said, I spend a lot of time outside, sailing and skippering. During winter I love skiing.

I realised how passionate I am about food and about meeting new people and doing what I do gets me doing exactly this: eating a lot and meeting new people.

Why Bucharest
Bucharest is always alive. It is a busy city which offers many opportunities. I’m passionate about observing old architecture and Bucharest is a good place to do it.

Have you noticed how each city has a scent of its own? I simply love Bucharest's in summer, mostly after the rain.

Where else can you find me online?

Bocca Lupo

Authentic Italian restaurant

"Bocca Lupo" is the coolest Italian restaurant in Bucharest. They use a yellow Fiat as a working table for making pizza. Yes, the whole car...

Shift

Best 'Lava Cake' in town

"Shift" in Bucharest is always friendly and relaxed, with a simple and clean design. I can recommend this restaurant for its chocolate lava cake and beef.
