My passion for Handmade started about 10 years ago. One day I received a phone call from my friend telling me we had to see each other, to show me something important. I still remember like it was yesterday…when I entered her room my gaze fell on her little table full of strips of paper, […]

Growing up in Maramures, I had the great opportunity to spend my summer vacations in the more rural and traditional part of the county, where most of my relatives come from a long line of woodworkers. Some made houses, others sleds or carriages, others furniture, all kinds of things. I loved spending time in their […]
My first contact with football was during my summer vacation, before my 1st grade in elementary school. It all started with a selection, which was attended by many children, born in the same year as me, in which I was selected together with another 50 if I remember correctly. Since then, I have had weekly […]
My passion for winter sports began a few years ago, while I was celebrating my birthday at a mountain resort. Winter is the season when I was born, I always loved the snow, so it became my favorite time of year. I practiced this sport for the first time at Parâng Resort. It’s still one […]

Good stories bring us face to face with ourselves. They help us discover our faults and quirks but also our strengths and dreams. I started writing letters to those who needed to read beautiful things. To my college colleagues, to an aunt who had an incurable disease, to friends and important people in my life. […]
I’ve always been infatuated with guitars. Guitars of all kinds. I really love how they sound and I often get goosebumps while listening to a good guitar tune. While I was at the university, I lived in a student dormitory and my roommates had always a guitar lying around. We were spending our free time […]
There’s so much out there to explore and experience! For me, travel is a way to recharge my batteries, relax, see new places, learn new things and enjoy new experiences. Seeing the world allows me to get away from my “normal” life and get in touch with myself. It opens my eyes to new perspectives. […]
I don’t even remember precisely the moment I first got interested in painting. I can only say that when I was a little kid, every time I had a pencil in my hands, I used to draw anything and everywhere – on the walls, tables, floors – it was quite a fun activity, even though […]
