La multi ani de Ziua Romaniei!

Voi scrie acest e-mail in romana pentru ca, acum mai mult ca niciodata ma simt roman, alaturi de soldatii nostrii din baza militara NATO, din Kabul !!

Dupa doua luni in care nu am auzit vorbe romanesti, cu atat mai putin sa intalnesc persoane din Romania, iata ca de 1 decembrie 2009 (dupa o luna jumate de negocieri ) am sarbatorit Ziua Nationala a Romaniei alaturi de 40 de romani, care m-au facut sa ma simt ca acasa… pentru aceasta zi, militarii nostri au facut 1500 de sarmalutze ca la mama acasa, ciroba radauteana, si fasole cu carnaciori. Au ramas americanii, germanii, francezii, turcii si toti ceillati cu gura cascata cand au mancat din bunatatile noastre cu specific romanesc.

Mi-am pus o dorinta cand am baut pentru prima data vin fiert anul asta, in pahare de apa plata (sub acoperire:):) … am savurat o cana de cafea facuta la filtru (made in Romania), am vorbit romana in grai moldovenesc cu sh si tz, si m-am bucurat sa vad ca romanii nostri sunt uniti peste hotare si ne reprezinta tara asa cum se cuvine.

Care este probabilitatea ca intr-o tara mult prea indepartata sa intalnesti 5 oameni din orasul in care ai copilarit ?..mult prea mica dar iata ca aici totul este posibil.. Am facut clubul botosanenilor ..”We are form Boston city, yeyy !!”.

Dar nu in ultimul rand sa intalnesti un roman care a auzit de AIESEC si care, ma asteapta de Craciun sa dansam Lele …

Felicitari AIESEC Iasi pentru premiul pe Exchange, eu simt cu adevarat ca il meritati !!

Sunt mandra ca sunt roman !!

GHANA, MMRS OGILVY, June 2009- January 2010

It happened… Just as Aqua was telling me at the beginning of my internship… I felt in love with Ghana! It may be the country… and it’s definitely the experience .

I remember my first 2 weeks here… I was feeling like it was the worse choice ever, now I KNOW that it is the best one.

I felt so many things being here: excitement when I first arrived, boredom in the first weeks at work, happiness when visiting so many amazing places, hatred when I was robbed, and homesickness almost every week, gratefulness for getting to know some really great people, fear and disgust for my sleazy neighbor that peaks at me behind his curtains, and the list may go on.

After 3 months in Ghana I know what I want to do with the rest of my life .

How can somebody put in words all the emotion? All the memories? All the feelings? I know I can’t!

AIESEC is a wonderful world  It’s not a perfect world, but what is perfection?

For me AIESEC was the space where I learned incredible many things, made new friends, developed skills, gathered strength, became courageous…

Thank you AIESEC Iasi and AIESEC Romania !

GERMANY, UL INTERNATIONAL GERMANY, July 2008- January 2009

UL International GmbH Germany it’s a division of UL International. It’s a company that they main activity is to certificate products for America. For example: if Apple wants to bring a new product on the market it has to have an UL Certificate. The engineers in UL (Germany, Barcelona etc.) test the product and give after that an certificate.

The division in Germany-Isenburg it’s connected with the other divisions in the world, for example Barcelona.

Aiesec gave me the opportunity to work in an international company and it’s an incredible feeling. Everyone there spoke English and I had collages from Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Dominican Republic, Germany. They were all incredible friendly people and always smiling. When you wanted something they were always there for you and they treat you with great respect. It’s amazing to work with people in different part of world, because you can learn all kind of culture things about there countries and you can promote you’re country. Everyone ask me about Romania, how is Transilvania, how is in you’re city, what’s the history of Romania. For example, I had a culture experience with Ivan and I talked with him about Romania and Czech. I learned that Czech people say “ahoj” (hello) and Czech and Slovaks can understand each other even if they are two countries. Beside gaining experience in the work field, this cultural part of an internship. Is incredible.

• - 6 months in a multinational company “UL International” that I got experience, I worked in business field and I learn how to interact with people

• - 3 apartments change in the last 6 months

• - 6 months of blogging and other 6300 visitors and 150 articles written
• - More than 15 LCM atented in Aiesec Darmstadt
• - One speech in public in front of students of Darmstadt University … almost 40 people present

• - I want to thank Aiesec Darmstadt for being every time next to me and supporting me in every stupid thing that I wanted, and doing so many cool things for me. Because they always take me everywhere with them. Understanding every time this phrase: Englishhhhh guy

There is no such thing as good internship or a bad internship, is only the you’re internship and how you wanted to be!
