INTRO
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. My name is Ioana Rus, and I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and growth when I moved to the vibrant city of London in 2015. Here, I found my true calling in architecture while immersing myself in the dynamic world of the hospitality industry.
Beyond my architectural pursuits and martial arts practice, I am deeply passionate about analytical psychology, particularly the work of Carl Jung. Jung's theories and insights into the human psyche have captivated my interest and shaped my perspective on the world.
Thank you for joining me on this journey of exploration, discovery, and growth. I invite you to explore my content, engage in discussions, and discover the profound insights and inspiration that these passions have to offer.
Welcome to my world, and I look forward to sharing this exciting journey with you.
