Gauri’s questions:

1. What’s your dream travel destination? – difficult to choose only one as I love to travel and I like sea, mountain, city, countryside…everything 😊
2. Your ideal vacation? – 2-3 days of new discoveries, learning a little bit of history (that I did not like when I was in school) and then followed by one week by the sea, simply doing nothing except enjoying nature 😊
3. If you had the opportunity to demolish any stereotype (only one), which one would that be? – culture stereotype. I’m from Romania and unfortunately there are quite a few Romanians around the world doing bad things, especially in Italy there they are seen as thefts and not recommended people. And of course Italian will consider all Romanian as being like that…I think this is happening with all nationalities but however I was quite bothered of this. Luckily my Italian family “adopted” me and considered me as part of their family without any issues but still others are not so fortunate…
4. What’s the most judgmental statement that you have ever heard? – I think nowadays people are too judgmental with everything. They judge every single thing. I think these kind of people have too much spare time in their life. I will never waste my time in judging anything….who am I to judge? And why do I need to do it? It is affecting my life? Oh no…if everybody would stop being so judgmental the world would be better. 
5. Romantic comedies or suspense thrillers? – well I think both 😊
6. What was your favorite age growing up? – until 6 years old 😊
7. What do you value the most in friendship? – sincerity
8. On what topic or topics, you would never make jokes? – health, it is very important for everyone.
9. How do you deal with negative emotions? – thinking at good things that I like and at my dreams. It cheers me up! 
10. What makes you feel most accomplished? – that I had the gut at one moment in my life to say NO to my old life and YES to the change. I couldn’t be more prouder! 
11. What was the last thing you read digital or in print? – I’m still reading it “La pergamena del tempio” it is a digital print in Italian since tomorrow I have my exam for Italian language 😉

Marge’s questions:

1. How would you describe yourself? – a simple and honest person that tries to enjoy life😉
2. If you woudn’t be who you are, who would you be? – definitely a dog 🐕 
3. If you would have a power to change the World what would you change – every single part of this world has its potential and its resources but unfortunately who guides this world doesn’t seems to care and force people to do what they don’t want or they don’t like. For example are parts of the world were people are very good in tourism, spoiling and entertaining the visitors, but they are forced to work in factories…I would like to give the opportunity to everyone to do what they like and love and what they are good in doing, I’m sure this world would be a better world. 
4. Something about you that your close friends or relatives don’t know. (I guess it is secret, but anyway…) – not sure…I don’t have too many friends or relatives and they know pretty much everything about me…so that they can stay away from me or from doing the things that I don’t like😊
5. Three types of food you never ate but would like to try?😋 – I’ve tried pretty much everything that I wanted too…traveling it gives you the opportunity to discover a lot of new foods…😊 Of course I’m not aware of a lot of cuisines all around the world and I hope one day when I’ll be able to travel more I’ll discover them 😊 And just today I’ve found out from Huguette about the makdous, pickled baby aubergines filled with walnut, garlic, peppers, definitely I would like to try it 😋
6. Three types of foods you will never ever ever try? No freaking way!!! – worms 🐛 , oysters and bugs 🐜 
7. How you censoring what you really think or feel?🤔 – I’m not very good at it. I’m a very direct person and if I have to say something I say it in the face and I do have some problems with this because people most of the time don’t appreciate it 🤪
8. If you could change one thing in your life, what would you change and why?🤔 – nothing…I think I am who I am today because of everything that happened in my life so far.
9. What are your plans when you will get old like grandma or grandpa? – I hope I’ll have my cottage by the sea by that time and I’ll just enjoy life, gardening, cooking and surrounded by my hubby and at least 3 dogs 🐕 
10. What’s wrong but sounds and feels right? – Eating pasta and pizza daily 😉
