"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...

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?
