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 at Avram Iancu University and 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 at Trinity Colege Dublin, I moved to England where I received my Cert. Teach. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from University of London.

Since 2010 I chose to make a living in the outdoors and I currently work as an IFMGA Mountain and Ski Guide.
