Featured site editor, amateur historian, content creator 

 

Hello there! My name is Florin, and I hail from the vibrant city of Bucharest, Romania.

With a background in engineering and a career in banking, you might be wondering: how does this connect to history? Well, truthfully, it doesn’t :) — but that’s not stopping me!

I’m an enthusiastic amateur historian, and I wear that title proudly. Why? Because it allows me the creative freedom to explore, make mistakes, and experiment with historical storytelling. My passion lies in uncovering and sharing the rich and often underappreciated history of the Balkans—focusing on the lands of modern-day Romania and its neighboring regions.

Through this platform, I aim to shine a light on the compelling narratives that shaped this corner of the world. You’ll find articles, stories, and other content that dive into the historical treasures of the Balkans. While the primary audience is adults, I strive to keep the site visually engaging for history lovers of all ages by incorporating rich graphics and animations that make the past come alive.

To reach a broader audience, I’ve chosen English as the main language of communication. This way, I hope to bridge the gap for non-Romanian speakers and share our culture and history with the world. As time permits, I may expand the site to include additional languages.

I sincerely hope you’ll enjoy exploring this site as much as I enjoy creating it! Your thoughts and suggestions are always welcome, so don’t hesitate to reach out using the contact options provided.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let’s uncover history, one story at a time!
