Canary Wharf, one of the biggest financial districts in the world has been built by a romanian. Yes, a romanian. In 1988, when port industry began to decline and the docks became useless, The Canary Wharf project has been sold to the Canadian company Olympia & York and George Iacobescu was the man in charge with the project at that time. He did such a good job, that he became the chairman and CEO of Canary Wharf Group. Now, everytime I ...
No description needed.
I like cities where you have a lot to do. Amsterdam is one of them, besides London, Barcelona, Paris or New York. Here in Amsterdam, you can visit museums, spend all your money on girls or drugs, take a romantic walk through the city’s canals, spend the night in a coffee shop, or simply walk the streets. I thought I’d better document the next post so you can discover the city from inside too. Some historical data. The first docume ...
Maybe that’s why I bumped here into fellow traveler that I met in Sevilla, where we shared the same hostel. Small world, they say.
Westend Hostel, Vienna. 03:00 AM. I was sleeping then I suddenly hear some strange sounds and I wake up. At first, I thought someone was dying. But no. Someone was snoring … and snoring .. and he didn’t stop. I look around, a 100kg old guy was dripping through and around the bed. His mouth was watering and you could tell he was getting ready to swallow half the room. I think, how stupid or foolish can you be when you know you’re snoring li ...

On the first day you get scared, on the 2nd day you get used to it, on the 3rd day you like it. These are the states of mind that a European goes through when he first steps in NYC. For the first few hours on the streets of New York, it all seemed like a mess. But over time, the chaos took a nicer shape, and I began to get used to people, their habits, their food, their lifestyle, and the new time zone. An entire world in one city. Arriv ...
If you get down the harbour, you gonna see The Little Mermaid. A nice little statue by the sea. But Copenhagen is not only about a statue. It is also about kind people, nice architecture and hippie neighbourhoods. I have enjoyed walking down the city center, exploring Christiania and listening to people’s stories in the middle of the night. See you later, little mermaid.
I can do photography, blogging, make money online and conquer the world at the same time. I can wake up at 7 in the morning and work late into the night. I can sit in front of the computer for over 16 hours, but I can also spend a whole day in the middle of nature. I can see all of Europe in one summer. I can graduate 2 faculties in 4 years. I can love unconditionally. I can admit when I was wrong. I can appreciate some help from a friend. I ...
I got home. Finally. Surrounded by friends and family, I feel safe. I think I’ll take a 1-week break to stay home and watch movies. I have a lot to recover. So if you want to see me, you know where to find me.
