Description

My self is a sort of modern-day renaissance woman with a victorian-age explorer's spirit. That's the short pitch. It means I like to discover, learn and experience. I also like to think I have resilience and endurance in whatever I choose to pursue.

In other words, I like most things so I'd say I'm a generalist. I have a science degree in computer technology and I've also studied art formally as graphic design but I like art in all its manifestations. I have a passionate curiosity about the natural world and I love immersing myself in it (camping, trekking, bikepacking, climbing, surfing, skiing and such). I also really enjoy hands-on work (especially cooking) and making things (woodworking, reconditioning, decorating etc).

I am travelling full-time these days and I am trying to do it the least touristy way possible. I'm not so interested in seeing places and checking off bucket list items. I want to get to know people and places and I want to use my time and talents to make my own contributions where it matters.

I speak english fluently, spanish and french not so fluently and romanian is my native language.

I think that sums it up.
