Born in Romania, grew up in Italy, lived in Poland and Turkey - I do not identify myself with any nation but just as European, I have an active interest in foreign cultures and languages and I drink Turkish çay :) Besides what is written below is possible to find out more about me from my website www.HitchhikingTips.com ••••• I find satisfaction in long adventurous trips and I enjoy traveling both alone and with a companion. I enjoy interacting with people, but I like to reserve myself moments of solitude as well. I always follow my instinct and my heart as I know they always lead me on the right path. I believe in karma as well. My travel style is mostly hitchhiking, hiking, camping, and backpacking. ••••• Life taught me that the most beautiful moments are those that happen unexpectedly, while the most intense ones usually last for a very short time. I also learned that Life usually doesn't offer second chances, and because of this is important that we seize each beautiful moment that arises and make it memorable. Life taught me also that to each moment of pure happiness, sooner or later will correspond a moment of pure sadness. ••••• I always felt a strong connection with Nature - sleeping under the stars, making a fire and cooking fresh meat and vegetables on it are some of the things I enjoy. I try to go hiking and trekking on the mountains every time I have the opportunity; I like lower mountains, covered by forest and rich in fauna - I am sensitive to the beauty of the nature and I prefer to go on the mountains together with people that appreciate the nature as much as me rather than alone. Cities are nice, but I appreciate more the smaller towns, the countryside, and beautiful landscapes. ••••• I consider myself a reliable person and I trust people. Dogs are not double-faced, You should also not be double-faced. I like people who mean what they say, who keep their word when they give it, who are fair, loyal and sincere, who have an adventurous spirit and a positive attitude towards life, curious and little crazy :) ••••• ADDITIONAL INFO: Not expecting presents from my guests and not bringing presents to my hosts. ••••• Caring about living and eating healthy - I prefer not to eat anything fried and I do not smoke. ••••• In 2012 I stopped using Facebook and the phone - ever since, I enjoy my life even more :) I use email to keep in touch with all the people I know and I have a mobile device that I connect to wi-fi. Because I don't have a SIM card in my device and so no internet with me when I am away from home, it means that in order to meet we have to agree in advance about when and where, and please expect me to answer anytime in the next 24 hours, not immediately. ••••• Not using Facebook, Instagram nor any other social network :) ••••• I'm not that much into bars and clubs - I prefer by far a long walk while having a conversation about topics that are not superficial.
