A little bit of London

London starts to be my second home. Actually, think I like this city more than my hometown. Every time I have the chance to leave Bucharest, London is my first choice that comes into my mind. After wall, It doesn’t matter where home is, it matters more where you feel like home. For me, London means home, even if it’s not home… yet.

auschwitz

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it

I think everyone of us must go to Auschwitz at least once on their lifetime. Not because it’s an impressive place to visit, not because there are a lot of activities to do there, but because we have to learn about the past, so we won’t do the same mistakes in the future. It took me just a few hours exploring the concentration camps in Auschwitz-Birkenau and Jewish Museum in Krakow to appreciate more ...

Hipsters everywhere

I live in Rotherhithe, a nice area, 15 minutes far from Tower Bridge, just opposite Canary Wharf. It’s a quiet area, clean, civilised. Not bad for a start. I just found out that there’s a small issue, though. Not too far from my house, by Doubletree by Hilton hotel, a former Pub was claimed by a bunch of hipsters that have only one job: to smoke all the weed in London. I have no issues with them. I love hipsters. Plus, they didn’t distract an ...

Brits and Romania

Today was a nice day. I met 2 elderly Britons who were planning a vacation this summer in Transylvania. They said they were eager to see our villages, mountains and brown bears. Yes, we’ve got brown bears in Romania. I don’t know if the fact that Prince Charles bought his properties at Viscri made Romania interesting, or for some other reason, but it seems that the British interest in Romanian tourism has increased a lot. Many times when I ...

Tourist in my own city

Have I told you how much I love London? Oh, I think yes. Many times. Hehe. Let me tell you one more time, but this time, as a resident. I have waited 10 years for this moment. Since I’ve stepped in this city, I knew I’ll move here, some day. 10 years, year after year, I came back, as a tourist. I tried to see as much as I could in a few days, or a few weeks each visit. Now, as a resident, I couldn’t stop being a tourist in t ...

My first month in London

St. Katharine Docks, London, March 15 2016, 11:55 AM. A wonderful place to work, relax, go out with friends or even live. This day marks a month since I moved to this city and more than 8 years since I discovered it. So far, I don’t regret for a second the decision I made. Many have asked me: OK, you’re in London, you have moved, everything is beautiful, but what are you doing there? How do you manage to survive in one of the most exp ...

2015, F64 year

The first time I heard about F64 was around 2006-2007, when I started flirting with photography. Since then I started following the brand. I was very attracted by the way they communicates and the closeness to clients. A few years later, I made the first purchase and experienced the customer experience. I was fascinated. Over time, getting very close to digital marketing, I followed the brand and, moreover, I started to take it as a ...

San Francisco

Everyone is running in San Francisco. Running from work, from friends, partners or life. Don’t know why they’re running so much. If you live in San Francisco and you are everyday out in your running outfit, comment bellow. I’ve seen Golden Gate Bridge so many times in movies that was almost no surprise to see it live. It was part of my life anyway. I was so familiar with this bridge that I almost forgot to take a picture of it. San Francis ...

Los Angeles

I have always wanted to drive around Los Angeles. I find this city perfect for long rides. The weather is perfect, nice music on the radio, roads are empty. Perfect vibe. I wanted to do so many things in LA and I had so less time. I started the day with a nice walk through Downtown, LA. Did I tell you that I like skyscrapers? Oh, yeah. I like spending hours walking along financial districts, staring at tall buildings. That’s my little guilty ...

Vegas #30

I’ve got lucky in Vegas on my birthday. I don’t know if it was beginner’s luck or the fact that was my 30’s birthday, but I know for sure, that I left the casinos with $300 profit. I went to Las Vegas with very low expectations. All of my friends said that Vegas is a shitty town, copy paste from Europe’s much older cities, nothing to see, nothing to do: just gambling, whores and alcohol. Maybe they said that because they never went to Vegas. ...
