Heya. Salut. Ciao. Bună. Hallo. Hola. Hej. Dia dhuit. Pryvit. Zdravo :)

In some ways, it feels like my first chapter of Dublin came to a beautiful end and the next one has already started. It’s probably clearer to say it’s my first “book” of Ireland, a truly transformative journey of healing. I let this work as my therapy and allowed all emotions to work their ways...

Krav Maga has been developed by Imi Lichtenfeld, a wrestler, gymnast and swimmer Jew, living in Bratislava. When anti-Semitism swiped Europe, Lichtenfeld and other boxers and wrestlers ganged up to protect their community.

  Apparently, my visit of the Venice Biennale was more about observing the other visitors than interiorizing the work(s). I honestly can’t say I was taken aback by most of it… but neither did I expect it to be so. It’s rather hard to bring in controversial work when you’re “representing the nation”. Yet, Cosmin...
