Years ago I met a complete woman: Gabriela Stanciu Păsărin. Architect, mother, girlfriend, friend, woman. Yes, woman in the true sense of the word. Beautiful, attractive, strong. She had a certain je ne sais quoi. She had that nonconformism rarely encountered in the period from 1975 to 1980, especially in the fairer sex. If you …

Dear Grape Minds, “If Paris is France’s head and Champagne her soul, Burgundy is her stomach” – The World Atlas of Wine. Summer is reason enough for cheerful celebrations. No matter where. No matter whom with. Myself, I like to celebrate summer (and weekends, and special occasions – like being alive, for example –) with …
I would go to Florence every weekend, if I could. It’s a charming city where every street corner is overflowing with beauty. Every year, on Daniel’s birthday, we go somewhere in Italy (his father is Italian so his blood calls him). And we love Italy. Two years in a row we went to Lake Como …

In September 2019, I was in Berlin for the annual ISTAT (International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading) Europe. Every year the organizers choose another European city for this event. This year it was the capital of Germany, at the Intercontinental Hotel. It is probably the largest trade fair in aviation, which brings together over 2000 …
My favourite Dutch city (right now) is Hoorn.
We moved to Amsterdam over a year ago. Because of my job and also because last year we have been on holiday in Turkey and in Canada to visit Daniel’s parents and in Bucharest to visit my parents, the plan was to enjoy the Netherlands starting with the autumn of 2019.
But the fall and winter were very rainy and cloudy. February was the wettest month in the Netherlands since they began measuring it, in 1901.
I wrote to businessman Adrian Ghilă on Instagram. I had heard of him from Haihuin2. In a few days he answered me, very polite, very humble. I was very surprised to receive an answer from the Romanian billionaire living in Los Angeles. We decided to talk on a Wednesday morning. The conversation was easy, it …

Dear friends, the idea came to me to share with you my experience as a mother, although now I have reached a certain age (you know, 60+) and I think of my daughter as more of a friend. But I think I used a successful recipe because I saw the daughter I wanted growing up …
LIFE.ro: Adrian Ghilă is one of the successful Romanians you want to hear about. He made his fortune in Romania but decided that he could accomplish more and moved to America. There he showed what his true value was. Neighboring many Hollywood stars, Adrian and his family live in Will Smith’s former home. With an enviable lifestyle, …
Why did we move? Last year (2019) in January I had two new job offers in Amsterdam. Why? Because I wanted a change. Luxembourg, a welcoming country with expats, had become boring for me. I didn’t find the job attractive either. I was talking to my boyfriend (Daniel) about making a change in our lives …
