About me
I was born in 1976 in the town of Baia Mare in the NW of Transilvania (Romania). Baia Mare was then a primarily mining town with industry drawing upon it. Nevertheless it is situated in a beautiful valley within mountains and hills, surrounded by lakes and rivers and forests. It is there where I found so much fun being a child, swimming, trekking, climbing, skiing, caving, exploring ruins, abandoned mines and so on.
When I finished school I went on to study Philosophy and Anthropology in the city of Cluj where I took my B.A. with honours from Babes-Bolyai University. A year later I received my M.A. in Classical Philosophy from the same university and, via a short stop in Ireland on a research fellowship, I moved to England where I got my Dip.Ed. and Ph.D. in Philosophy. In 2004 China became my home…
Teaching is my profession although the subjects and levels varied over the years. I have also worked briefly as journalist and in security. I also freelance mountain guiding.
My passions are climbing, horse riding, scuba diving, martial arts and traveling (the more exploratory the better).
