It’s not news for me but it’s interesting to see the path from where we start before joining the social media platforms and where we end. Personally my social media footprint is a sign of success. I was never the cool kid just because I was a geek and I didn’t fit the norm. Thank God for social media as I used it to develop my talent and turn it into the job I love. As someone used to say, geeks rule the world :)

This is my friend Alex Gavan. If I were to pick someone in my generation who constantly inspires me, it would be him. He’s a mountaineer with an incredible personality and a dear friend. 
On April 30th he made the first Romanian ascent of Shisha Pangma (8027m) in the Himalayas, with no supplementary oxygen. I’m extremely lucky to have him as my friend, meeting him many years during our first collab with National Geographic. Read more about his 8000m peaks adventures around the world on his Facebook page&website.

Old school : Gil Scott-Heron - ‘Me And The Devil’ (Official HD Video) (by XLRecordings) The new generation should listen more to real music and learn. Music carries an important social message and that needs to be passed onto the new generation.
