off i go

i am diana, i am very curious and i have always been intrigued by everything connected to people. that's how i ended up as a planner. last year i started attending all sorts of interesting seminars held within Fundatia Calea Victoriei. It's been an amazingly eyes-opening experience: i gained a completely new perspective on our country and its inhabitans. a perspective i'd never gain, no matter how many advertising researches i'd carry out.


one of the workshops, however, had a particular impact on me. it was an ethnography workshop, introducing some general aspects of traditional life and culture. my mind made a lot of connections, some of my old passionate interests reactivated, and i decided i wanted to dig further on.


Starting this October, i will be a student in Ethnology (University of Bucharest), as well as hopefully involved in other related stuff.


This blog is the blog of an absolute beginner starting my journey in what seems to be a fascinating field. i'll mark down what i find interesting, intriguing, hoping that i don't always seem stupid as hell :). some posts will be in romanian, some others in english, but there'll be a lot of material. i can hardly wait for feedback and impressions.
