SUCCESS STORIES

A fresh start

My life in Germany started a long time ago, that is almost twenty years ago. I was a young translator, irremediably in love with the German language, eager to engage in conversations and practice my linguistic knowledge as much as possible. I will never forget the day I left Romania, all alone, in an embroidered coat, leaving from an airport that I liked until then, with my whole life packed in two pieces of luggage, going to meet the unknown. From the very beginning, I liked everything very, very much: my new home, located in a green oasis a couple of kilometres away from the city centre, my new job at the most famous university of Berlin – at first, as lectureship later on as a professor, my colleagues, my neighbours, even the stores.

A child’s dream

For me, Germany is a beautiful story. I was raised while being taught German, by a grandmother and a mother who tried to give me the best education possible. Ever since I was a young child, I wanted to go to this country I have read so much about in my school textbooks. At the beginning, it was difficult for me, but six years have passed now since things settled well in my life; currently, I am a flight attendant and I can even say I am happy every day. I have had the opportunity to see places I only dreamt about when I was a kid, such as Tibet, India or South America. This is how I discovered my passion for yoga and the importance of balance in life. After two years of courses and research, I was granted a trainer certification and so I managed to open my own studio.

Turning a hobby into a profession…..

Ever since I was a kid, I liked history very, very much. This is how a hobby decides one’s destiny! I live in Germany because I have always wanted to become an archaeologist and, in Romania, you could not make a living having this job. I don’t even know how many archaeologists Romania has currently. The idea was that I wanted to have my daily activity somehow linked to my hobby, and so I chose the construction field. Just like with archaeology, you deal with buildings, plans, rocks and much, very much dust. I like living in Germany, I make a pretty penny here, I have a couple of good friends, Romanians and Germans alike and I travel wherever I like. It is one of the reasons why I decided to live here: from my city, I can very easily go anywhere in Europe.
