About us

Yep we are a couple. We met at a New Year's Eve party and we talked for like 5 minutes and we left ourselves a good impression. A few months later I called Ela telling her to pack her bags for we are leaving in Brasil. She said yes and from this point things started to flow in a natural way. We started living together, adopted a kitten, she left her job and we started to put things in order for leaving. Oh well, is awkward, let's just say that life is like a box of chocolate and we not left Romania, instead we left the capital, Bucharest for a smaller city where we are putting the base  of a project which implies plants, freedom, arts and innovation. Now the winter is coming, we dehydrated the fruits and vegetables, put them in jar's (a small number, but we tested different ways to do this). And until the spring begines we got a lot of spare time. We are starting to promote our new project but we also need to know and to see different ways of doing things. We want to visit warmer places, meet other people and learn new skills. We like any kind of work involving direct action or interaction, in small "places" where is more freedom to be as you are.

About Ela

Hello, my name is Ela Ciorita and I am 30 years old. I have a degree from the Art University with a specialization in painting and teaching. During college I worked as a freelance illustrator. After graduation I got a job as a graphic designer in an advertising agency and for the next 6  years I’ve kept on working in the business. The best thing I gained from working in this field is a good set of skills in communication and Photoshop. In those years I travelled a lot and met great people on the way. A year ago I stopped because I felt that I was not on the right road. I was raised in a small village so life in a big crowded city and the static job in an office never really satisfied me. So I quited my job and moved to my hometown. Now im painting wooden furniture and renovating an old house. My dream is to have my own creative classes for children. I'm an active person and I basically like any kind of work.That's all about me for now, I hope this gives you some insight into who I am.

About Nicu

Hello my name is Nicolae Furtuna (Nicu) and I want to tell you a few words about me, just so you know me! Now I'm a hoticulture ingenier but when I've came to study Horticulture in Bucharest my first part time job was in a blues and jazz bar called Big Mamou. I've work't there for one year, good music and good people but  when I decided to leave I've chenged my job for one in public relations, for a phone company. Eight months there where a good experience on the part of knowing how to relate with people, but like all good experiences it endend. Let's just say that I realised that a corporation is not my way so I've started to look for a new job. A friend of mine found on tweeter a bartender job in a place called Verde Cafe, (Green Cafe) so there started two and a half years of learning to do anyting was needed to be done. Building, crafting, painting the walls, instaling interphone, fixing furniture and bartending. And just like that two years and a half passed by. In the end the place closed so I got into adevertising, the social media part, but after a week I've said to myself that is not my place in the advertising business. I'm still into social media but I would like to do it in a fair context. Now for a few months I work as a gardener and I enjoy my job every day. These are small frames of a big picture but I think it's enough for now. Cheers!
