Outdoors

From an early age, my parents encouraged my brother and I to have an active and healthy lifestyle. This has been an important part of my life, so when I am not in my office, I like to spend my time outdoors or participating in sports.

My hometown is very close to the mountains, less than 25 miles from Dracula’s castle, this proximity allowed me to start skiing and hiking at the early age of 4. During elementary school I began to swim and participate in track and field events and, like any kid from Europe, I was playing soccer with my friends whenever we had any opportunity.

Below are pictures from some of my hiking trips, as well as pictures from intramural competitions that my teammates and I won during the Graduate Student Soccer League in 2009 and 2011.
