--- title: The Avanti Traveler | Adrian Buda description: "Born and raised in Romania, Adrian has a strong passion for languages and the culture that follows. At age 18 he moved to Italy where he lived for seven years and earned a degree in Linguistic Mediation at Tuscia University. It was there that his desire for “different” awoke and decided to travel as much as he possibly could. According to Adrian: being a foreigner is the gateway for an open mind." image: https://blog.avantidestinations.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Blog%20-%20Face%20to%20a%20Name%20-%20Gina%20-%20Header%204-Feb-05-2024-02-58-24-0264-AM.jpg --- [![Avanti Destinations Logo](https://blog.avantidestinations.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Avanti-Logo-Color-4.png?width=100&height=63&name=Avanti-Logo-Color-4.png "Avanti Destinations Logo")](http://www.avantidestinations.com) [![Avanti Destinations Logo](https://blog.avantidestinations.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Avanti-Logo-Color-4.png?width=100&height=63&name=Avanti-Logo-Color-4.png "Avanti Destinations Logo")](http://www.avantidestinations.com) - [The Avanti Traveler](https://info.avantidestinations.com/the-avanti-traveler) - [Blog Homepage](https://blog.avantidestinations.com/the-avanti-traveler) - [Avanti Podcast](https://blog.avantidestinations.com/avanti-podcast/the-avanti-podcast) - [Avanti Destinations](https://www.avantidestinations.com/home) - [Subscribe Now](https://share.hsforms.com/1FoJwsgeZQ366rRMQXb1RJQ158jk) search - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty.
