  I was born in Romania, Eastern Europe, in mid 60’s. I grew up in a communist country where people had 3 MAIN survival tools: -Togetherness -Humour -Music/Dance parties   I’ve spent the first 2 decades and a half of my life in a large family, with 2 grandparents and their countryside neighbours, their 6 children (our moms, dads, aunts and uncles) plus their 10 children (cousins) plus their extended groups of party loving friends. Our family was well known and very popular among its peers for their down to earth, hardworking, outgoing personalities, humour, party loving, highly social and generous nature.    We’ve all spent countless weekends at our grandparents modest country house in their small but charming garden, among TENS of party animals humans, dancing, laughing and eating until we’d crash and then start all over again next weekend in someone else’s apartment or weekend getaway. This lifestyle was all pervasive in many parts of our home city Bucharest, Roma
