• Decided to take a gap year together with my husband to make this dream come true and explore this beautiful world, while meeting locals and understanding more about other cultures. Travelling through Central and South America, Asia, Northern Africa and the Middle East, while also keeping in touch with the Romanian IT market trends.
• Managed to live for an average of 1 month in each of the following countries: Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Egypt, Sri Lanka, India, Oman. While this journey was indeed full of unknown, challenging and hard (and right in the middle of the Covid pandemic), it definitely helped me overcome many limitations and made me a stronger spirit overall.
