At the outset of 2023 I knew it would be a crazy, challenging but rewarding year, with many personal & professional limits to overcome.

So far…

@🇪🇺🖌️🎼✍️I have been part of an amazing team that helped Timisoara grow into its new identity as European Capital of Culture.

@🎼👁️  Together with my longtime friends and colleagues, we helped Sibiu shine brighter with ARTmania celebrating its sweet #16 edition.

@🚐🎤 With my favorite band, Alternosfera, who I am honoured to manage, we’ve been rolling from North to South, East to West, in the most amazing Romanian venues, clubs and festivals.

But now it’s time for an even bigger challenge, as my 2023 resolution was to help women less fortunate than myself.

So, after supporting projects like Hope & Homes for Children and Music Saves UA during ARTmania festival, this autumn will find me far, far away from home.

🚴‍♀️🚴  Together with @Alexandra, I will be riding 500 km in Kenya this November, as part of the Ride Africa team, to raise money for women and children who didn’t have my luck or the same opportunities. This journey will be about health, opportunity and being kind, no matter the distance.

🙌  The ride will be hard, but it will be nothing compared to the difficulty of raising a child with no information, access to healthcare, or help. While we train, and while we ride, remember that a donation as small as 15 EUR can save a pregnant woman's life by allowing her to complete her antenatal sessions and receive a care package for her baby. Anyone can donate to child.org.

P.S.: I will keep you updated with how the training proceeds and, once in Kenya, will share daily updates from the road. Wish me luck!
