Recent graduate of Film, Psychology and Neuroscience living in Glasgow.
I've moved a lot as a kid, so I have harvested a strong passion for cultures and travelling. I'm easy to talk to and pretty funny (or so I'd like to think). I am originally from Romania, but have lived in Sweden, Norway, Hong Kong, and now Scotland. Leaving a piece of me everywhere I go, and collectiong beautiful moments along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music: I like lots of stuff, from Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath to The Glitch Mob, Marina and the Diamonds and Placebo. I am very passionate about Debussy and Tchaikovsky.

My favourite films: very difficult to name just films so I thought I'd just name some directors instead? David Lynch, Margaret Tait, Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu, Alfonso Cuaron, Ingmar Bergman, Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee.

My favourite books (likewise, easier to name authors than novels. I like reading, and try to read at least one or two books a week. Some works I remember very well, some I just enjoy in the moment, then, unfortunately, forget): Lately I've fallen in love with Damon Galgut and Jeanette Winterson's novels. I love Japanese literature (Kobo Abe, Haruki Murakami, Ryu Murakami, Tanizaki, Banana Yoshimoto), German literature (Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Hermann Hesse) and French literature (Jean Paul Sartre, Amelie Nothomb [she's Belgian haha], Victor Hugo)

Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse is however by far my favourite novel ever.
My second favourite book is As I lay Dying by William Faulkner.
My third favourite novel is Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo.
My fourth favourite book is The Birds by Tarjei Vesaas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm running a photography page called Humans of Stirling. Inspired by Humans of New York, but sharing stories from mini-Stirling!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you languages!
Or various photography-stuff!
I know a lot of stuff about animals. Due to having watched ridiculosly many wild-life documentaries. Some might find it redundant, but I think it's fun and fascinating.
I'm also pretty ok at drawing (I hope)!
And I love psychology and can share the coolest stuff I've learnt from my course in a family-friendly and intriguing way!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've lived in many countries till now (Romania, Norway, Sweden, Scotland, Hong Kong): hence I call tell you more about these places.

Countries I’ve Lived In
