I am Bogdan Romanică (more details below) and I am a trainer and facilitator since 2010. Throughout the years I have worked with thousands of adults and youth, and I have created and offered thousands of hours of learning experiences and processes, that contributed to the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual development of people. For a long time already, I have a strong calling for offering to other people my knowledge and experience in this field.
