ABOUT ME

Hard to talk about myself. The first thing I can think of is that i love life and I'm a convinced hedonist. I enjoy everything life has to offer: from my mom's cooking to riding my motorcycle around the city and outside it. I love the seaside, a love snowboarding but hate the Romanian slopes(short, bad and expensive).
I enjoy sports, I've done football, basketball, swimming, wall climbing, karate (Shotokan), skiing (for 2-3 years until I discovered the religion: SNOWBOARDING).
I've bought a motorcycle in 2007, a kawasaki EN500 chopper, sold it in 2009 and got a Honda Transalp. This was the time for my second falling in love in my entire existence.m The first one was in highschool, I was 18 and she was actually a girl, rather than a machine.
Coming back to my motorcycle. I have one because I hate sitting in traffic, because it makes me feel free and because i love traveling. I have it because life short and i do not have time to wonder how it would have been owning one. Plus i was in an early middle age crisis when I separated from that first love. So i kind of had to replace it with something ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Better to try and regret doing it than not do it and wonder how it would have been.
