Over time, I have met several travel bloggers and media personalities, passionate about a life of travel. Cezar is one of them, and after meeting him over drinks this summer in the Old City of Bucharest, I knew I had to share more of his amazing travels. This is the first of a new interview […]
An unconventional Thanksgiving: high above the clouds in a Cessna 340
I don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving in the traditional way, given I’m Romanian; we don’t have it in our culture. However, living in America, I do celebrate it in a different way: most of the time with my other Romanian friends in New York. We usually gather around a table of turkey eats and other dishes, […]

I had no idea what to expect; finding convenient options […]

In other words, my eclectic style is most gratified with global inspired pieces that unravel the story of my travels. Travel and stylish design really go well together, I […]
What to expect from an unknown capital: Bratislava, Slovakia
Bratislava has come a long way since Eurotrip (the movie). Part of a eight day trip I took last summer through Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany and finally Czech Republic, where I spent the majority of the time, the small capital of Slovakia is anything but dreary. After spending a few days in Prague, I honestly […]
