You can find the article I wrote about my female role model on http://www.delano.lu The thought of writing about a female role model made me sceptical at first. The minute I got approached to write this text and upon learning the brief, I have to admit my mind got seriously stuck. I kept thinking and... Continue Reading →
My expat experience in Luxembourg
Romanian national Roxana Mironescu joined her sister in Luxembourg in 2012 after completing her studies in Aberdeen. She has since worked for the local media and is now pursuing a communications degree at the University of Luxembourg in the country she now calls home. What brought you to Luxembourg? I moved to Luxembourg from Scotland... Continue Reading →
Reflections on my Romanian identity ahead of Romania’s national day
Given this year's troubled political context both nationally, on a European level and internationally, I find it somewhat difficult to write about my sense of belonging to one country or nation, without mentioning that nationalism is on the rise, giving birth to a lot of xenophobic and intolerant behaviour all across the world. While I... Continue Reading →
Internships – why, when and how to make the most of them
As a ''senior intern'' as I like to call myself, a few days ago I wrote a few thoughts about being an intern, why it is important to make an impression, but mostly what to do to face the ever-growing pressures and challenges imposed by the current economic climate. The text below was published on... Continue Reading →
Ziua Iei la Luxemburg-Poze si Impresii
Ideea de a organiza un eveniment dedicat iei romanesti pe 24 Iunie in Luxemburg mi-a venit intr-o secunda, inspirata fiind de proiectul La Blouse Roumaine, ce s-a transformat ulterior intr-o adevarata comunitate online.

How Facebook changed our lives and privacy

I wasn't sure what it was at that moment, but above all, one thing was clear! My online presence on Facebook helped me stay... Continue Reading →
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Who says that people need a special day every year to express their gratitude and love for those who hold a special place in their life? To me, Valentine's Day is just a valid excuse for eating chocolate. I don't need a specific day in my schedule to be nice and think about love. There... Continue Reading →
Roumanie à l’honneur
This is an article published a few days ago in the local press of St. Hilaire de Riez (in the region of Vendée, western France) talking about the cultural exchange that took place between ROMANIA and FRANCE, within the International Week of Solidarity. This comes to prove that the French press is still willing to... Continue Reading →
The day that stood still…9/11
A horrible day for many. An unforgetable event for the world. I was 12 years old when the World Trade Center tragedy happened. I can still picture myself lying in bed with a sorrowful face. That particular morning I broke my left leg. Just back from the hospital I was watching TV, when pictures of... Continue Reading →
