Let’s make Lipovei great again

Being part of the team Lipovei is not always the easiest ”job” you’ll ever find.

People in this neighborhood are just […]

Make a mistake

I’m trying to remind myself that it’s okay to make mistakes. in fact, I think I should make more mistakes. if anything, I think it’s a mistake sometimes to be so guarded and being too afraid to make a mistake. I would be more productive if I just went ahead and make a move. and […]

Pljeskavica time

After a long time without going out, I have finally seen Timisoara again. How we were discussing going to eat pljeskavica, with my friends Katsia and Arus, for a long time, that day finally came.

International environment can give you a great chance to improve your English skills of any level. Work with local community requires some knowledge of Romanian, which I have been trying to learn since the […]
