I was born in Romania during its communist dictatorship years. I still remember those times vividly, as well as the fall of the Iron Curtain and the uprising in my country. Fortunately for me, most of my philosophical education took place in more peaceful times. As an undergrad I was fascinated by philosophy of language and all-things-Frege (definition of number, logicism, Russell's paradox- that kind of stuff). I still find these things interesting, even if there is mainly ethics on my mind these days.   
In my non-academic time I enjoy perfectly boring things like reading books, drinking tea and having long chats with friends.
