Now, in the second match, the side from Oceania managed a huge upset to Australia, beating the forme World Champion 22-15. A huge surprise in…
Sport and money – case study
Is sports all about money? Yes, it is. The main and key idea from which we should start. As a matter of fact, Neymar’s statement from a press release, where he said that he and Messi experienced hell at PSG. Wait, what? Does anybody have any idea how much Neymar earned in his six-year stay…
And then, here is Andorra! You must visit it!
My madness to complete a Spartan Race Ultra brought me to small, but very beautiful Andorra. In fact, from the bus ride started in Barcelona, one of Europe’s hubs of basically everything, things started looking great. Our accommodation happened to be in Andorra La Vella, the capital city of the very small state from the…
Albion Rrahmani – the story behind the arrival of the striker at Rapid Bucharest
In just two games, Albion Rrahmani of Kosovo scored four goals for Rapid Bucharest and had five more huge opportunities. But how did this 23-year-old guy end up in a championship like Romania’s? Because, honestly speaking, he’s the best piece of attacker that Liga 1 has in the last 20 years for sure. To score…

Malta, a great destination all around the year – things to do there
Malta is a small archipelago in the Mediterranean See that has a lot to offer. It can be visited all over the year, and so we did go for some days in August when, if you ask me, is the most inappropriate time, because it is hot as fuck and in some ways you fail…
What is running?
What is running? It seems like a philosophical question, but it really is not. “It is when you are walking faster”, jokers would say. In reality, I am not trying to come up with a definition but to express the whole volume of feelings and emotions I have experienced in the last eight years of…
Tromsø, how to live a dream – chapter 2
My curiosity about Tromsø was born from a… magazine. I saw the Midnight Sun Marathon advertised, so I have decided from that moment I needed to attend it. Now, it is not so easy to go to the northernmost city of Norway and, I think, the biggest northernmost city in the world actually, so for…
Saint Lucia, how to live a dream – chapter 1
A different story about Saint Lucia. I like adventure, I am keen to discover every new far away corner, places that seem available only in documentaries. Locations thousands or even tens of thousands kilometers apart from Romania. In 2023, the ultimate travelling adventure proved how and why dreams come true: the trip to picturesque Saint…
