Into the history of Wallachia, Moldavia, Romania.
Passionate about nature, hikes, art.
I delved into military history by placing units on a map.
I'm now continuing into the private day-to-day lives of ordinary individuals.
What a ride so far.
Wallachia under Russian occupation (1828-1836). A story still to be told.

[Wallachia, Russian occupation]
After so many reports of violence, shortages and army misconduct, finally something positive to read.

Romanian painter Alexandru Phoebus (1899-1954).
I generally dislike this style (too modernist for me), but this might be one of the best styles to capture Bucharest's eclectic spirit.

Hello, everyone!
Sorry for my long silence!
X is sill my main SM account, since I find it hard to migrate or manage accounts on two platforms. I simply lack the time.
However, since it's becoming unbearable, I will be gradually moving here, or at least be more active here.
Cheers to all!
