Moldovan Abroad

A big thank you to everyone who is supporting me in any way <3

Lots of Love and a very Happy New Year

Cristina (@criss.fitness), antrenor personal și nutriționist, m-a impresionat inițial prin faptul că ea vrea să înțeleagă cum funcționează corpul uman, care sunt particularitățile fiecărui client și prin propriile experiențe și încercări, își sfătuiește clienții ca să primească cele mai bune rezultate.

Așa cum trecem printr-o perioadă mai bizară, am considerat oportun un interviu cu un specialist în domeniu, pentru că este extrem de important să ne menținem sănătoși pe timp de pandemie, dar și pentru că vin sărbătorile de iarnă (în Moldova vin chiar de două ori), așa că e important să ținem cont de câteva sfaturi pentru a menține cât de cât un echilibru. 

În acest episod am vorbit despre:  când a început dragostea Cristinei pentru sport, dieta stricta care nu a mers, kilogramele în plus adăugate brusc, ceea ce a motivat-o să meargă la sala, cum a ajuns să își schimbe cariera (Cristina studiase jurnalism și lucra în televiziune), de ce e important să îți asculți corpul, cum se mănâncă în Italia, câteva sugestii de schimbari ușoare de sărbatori, de ce ne trage la muraturi, în special dupa ce bem mai mult alcool, exerciții făcute acasă, ce a motivat-o să facă antrenamente online, menținerea masei musculare, cele 3 tipurile de corpuri explicate, despre sportivii de performanță, este sau nu important sa faci un sport care iti place si de ce și multe alte subiecte utile și practice.

Crina's world is a manifestation of her dreams coming true one by one and it was so interesting to get a glance into her world; to speak to her and listen to her stories in more details, full of wise words, a lot of laughter and positive energy.

In this episode, we talked about the countries that Crina lived in so far, we stopped a bit more and talked about India, we talked about transformation, manifestation of dreams, allowing flexibility and change.

We also talked of course about her activities, including:

Crina also gave a few precious pieces of advice to help you get through these peculiar times (but these tips are useful for any time to be honest, so listen until the end to find out ;) ).

You can find Crina on her websites (https://mybarefootjourney.com; Mayuri – Fine Jewellery;  i am here | welcome); on Facebook  and on Instagram (@iamcrinaandrei; @mayuri_fine_jewellery; @mybarefootjourney)

Vlad is a Macedonian comedian who came to the UK to steal jobs (from the Romanians). And that's one of his jokes that I am trying to make as my own.

If you try to look him up by his name (at least on Ecosia as I use it more than Google), the results will come up with Lenin. And of course that sparked a full funny conversation (it's important that you don't take it seriously, in fact, every time the tone of the conversation got serious, Vlad was counting so that we don't step the mark and transform this into a TED talk).

We spoke about other subjects too (not necessarily in this order) like Borat 2;  camping; Dylan Moran; what does Vlad like in the UK and what he misses from back home (by the way, only realized after editing that the sarma is the same as Moldovan/Romanina sarmale); we talked about stereotypes; why I don't have any friends; what happened when Vlad drank pălinca, how did Vlad get into comedy and how he got the gig at the BBC Stand Up for Live Comedy (Margate) (that involves meeting producers who worked with people like Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and many other cool stuff that will make your day if you listen to this episode.

Please also remember that Vlad promised me a place in his future sitcom :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

You can find Vlad on his website (http://vladilich.com/, not launched just yet, but you can talk to a very funny and friendly robot meanwhile), on Twitter (@VladTheComedian), on Facebook (Vlad Ilich) and on his Instagram (@vlad_illich).

Daniel is an amazing multiple-Michelin-starred chef, with a very diverse international career. His awards and accolades speak for themselves , and just to give you a few examples: he was awarded the 2011 rising chef trophy for Relais et Chateau Worldwide, Restaurant of the Year 2012/2013 by Decanter magazine, and has holds position 82 on the list of the top 100 best restaurants in the UK by Restaurant magazine etc.

With regular appearances on various TV shows, I was delighted and couldn't believe that Daniel accepted an interview for my podcast!

He is very kind, approachable, humble and determined to educate people through food. You can find Daniel on instagram (@galmiche.daniel); on his website (danielgalmiche.co.uk) or on his YouTube channel.

We talked about various subjects: from what he misses from France and what he loves in the UK and especially in Scotland; sustainability and ways to be more eco at home; his books; the concept of having a Michelin star dinner at your own house (not during the pandemic of course); his "accents" in the way he cooks; his favorite dish cooked by his lovely wife; the importance of walking in nature, sitting down for a meal and enjoying the moment and many other important messages for you.

Talking about his books, Daniel wrote 2 cook books: French Brasserie (and Daniel so kindly gifted us a signed copy, it's absolutely superbe!)  and Revolutionary French Cooking (find out in this episode why Daniel didn't publish it in French).

He has written a 3rd book as well, it is not released just yet (available from 13th April, you can see the cover on this link with a gorgeous illustration on the cover).

Daniel is just a joy to talk to and his knowledge and love for food is just immeasurable.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. After I had the call with Daniel, I was just happy for the rest of the day, such an inspirational chat :)

Irina a lansat recent o carte de bucate românești, scrisă în engleză, tradusă în germană și cât de curand va apare versiunea în română. Cartea (Carpathia – Food from the heart of Romania) care a cunoscut în scurt timp succes la nivel internațional,  poate fi găsită în mai multe librării, în mai multe țări, inclusiv România (lista cu link-uri este aici).

Eu, ca de obicei, am sărit înaintea carului și am contactat-o pe Irina, ca doar după ce am stabilit data interviului să îmi dau seama că există o listă extensivă de interviuri cu ea, ca National Geographic Food Magazine, Now Serving -LA, Adevărul, BBC Good Food; cu mențiuni în Forbes, Waitrose Weekend, LA Times, ba chiar și o recenzie de nimeni alta decât zeița bucătăriei Nigella Lawson; și multe, multe alte surse..

Însă Irina a fost foarte generoasă cu timpul ei pentru acest episod de podcast. în care am vorbit în principal despre mâncare desigur, cu câteva detalii din spatele cortinei. Mi-a fost interesant să descopăr experiențe similare în legătura cu percepția generală a englezilor față de mâncare, dar și experiențe similare de la noi de acasă.

Mi-i dragă de Irina și sunt sigură că veți avea același sentiment.

Vedeți ce poze frumoase face Irina pentru instagam (@irina.r.georgescu) și delectați-vă cu rețetele pe care le împarte cu noi.

Elena started a very interesting concept with her friend Svetlana: Sketch and Brunch - a Sunday meeting in a London café with various artists. And it's thanks to an online session with this group that I realized that I am better at listening and I am less nervous when I paint and talk and I had a vision of the last version of the concept of my podcast (because I have been thinking about making a podcast for more than a year, but I kept changing ideas in my head).

Since I met Elena online, she has been a great support for me: she always listens to my podcasts, but first and foremost she is very knowledgeable. As an artist herself, she has a keen interest in anything related to art: from techniques, materials, styles, artists, history, museums, movies etc.

Her background is in architecture so she can tell you a lot about that as well!

This episode is around art as you can imagine, we touched on various subjects like: pigments, the importance of art, modern art (which I sometimes don't understand haha), what is it like working as an architect in London and many other things, all of this while laughing our heads off!
