About Octavian Vasilescu

My name is Octavian Vasilescu and I am 21 years old. I am currently studying for a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism at the University of Bucharest. In 2016, when I was in my first year of studies, I started working for ProSport, one of the most prestigious online newspapers in Romania. Since then, I have written many articles about all kinds of sports, but those that I like the most are football and Formula 1. This work gave me the opportunity to see Formula 1 live and  to drive a Formula 1 car. I am passionate about finding real stories that deserve to be told.

Also, I like to travel and I do it as much as I can, because it is the best way to discover and understand other cultures. One of my biggest dreams is to visit New York City. I am keen to learn new things and always ready for adventures. One funny story is that whenever I have an interview with a player or with a coach, I am asked ‘How old are you?’ and I often receive their admiration.
