Salut,

Florin here. Born and bred in Bucharest, Romania, I moved first to Rotterdam in 2009 for a Master degree at Erasmus. After a 4-month hiatus to explore a bit of South America, I have been living in Amsterdam together with my family. I've joined Adams back in 2010 and have been enjoying recruitment ever since.
