I’m Back, Again (în România 🇷🇴); Notes on the Balkans & Ethnicity

Taken upon my return at Otopeni Airport.

Holy shit, has it really been one year since I’ve written on this platform?

You’re probably wondering where the hell I went and why I left, or you probably don’t care. You probably don’t care. I respect that. You have your own shit, and I have mine. That’s why I’ve been inactive here.

My writing career has been going well since I left you. Nothing to do with you, everything to do with hard work and hunger for the next thing. I don’t feel like writing about that now though.

I miss writing on this platform because this is a place I can write about things not work-related. And there’s one thing I want to talk about today that I don’t feel like sharing much on my LinkedIn.

My travels.

Yup! I’m still at it with the whole digital nomad thing. I’m back in Romania after one year of not being here. Man, I missed Romania a lot. I missed Romania so much that when I left Romania for Ukraine (I left two months before the war, so I was in Kyiv at this exact time last year), I started teaching myself how to speak Romanian.

Taken around a year ago in the center of Kyiv.
