Dear diary,

This month Discover Moldova “smelled” amazing ✨
We visited Viorica Cosmetics and tested if we could become real perfumers for one evening 👀

We explored different aromas, learned about top, middle, and base notes, and tried to create the perfect balance between them. Some combinations surprised us, some made us laugh, and some actually smelled very professional 🌸

At the end, each of us created a perfume that matched our own personality and vibe.

Now the waiting game begins - 2 more weeks until we can finally use them 🤍

Dear diary,

Yesterday we explored Moldova with our own hands 🏺🇲🇩
At , we turned clay into our own creations ✨

So much focus, so much care,
you could really see how invested everyone was 🤍

We explored creativity combined with tradition this time,
and we can’t wait to take our pieces home ✨

Dear diary,

This month’s Learning & Development session focused on using AI to create visuals 🤖

We explored different AI tools for the full creative process.
From images, videos, and presentations, we saw how ideas can quickly turn into something visual and real 🎨🎥📊
And not least, we also looked at Claude Code, which can turn a visual website idea into real code, making the link between design and development much easier 💡

Once again, Eduard Balamatiuc, CEO at Sigmoid, was with us, sharing everything in a clear and practical way.

Another L&D session done and many more to come 🚀

Dear diary,

In the Netherlands, cheese is serious business.

Not just “cheese”.
Jong. Belegen. Oud.

Everything has a stage.
Everything has its time.

Working with Dutch clients feels similar:
good partnerships are not rushed, they mature.

Apparently, even trust needs time.
Just like cheese.

Dear diary,

We give Easter boxes every year. 🐣💛

Not only because it’s a tradition.
But because work takes most of our time.

And it’s easy to forget there are real people behind deadlines, tasks, and calls.

So this is just a pause.
A small moment of gratitude and our way of saying THANKS. 🌸

Happy Easter! 🐰🎉

Dear diary,

This month, we had a special mission: to bring love and care to the shelter pups 🐶. We collected food, medicine, and other essentials. Then we visited them, saw their excitement, and shared little moments of happiness that we will never forget ❤️.

Their wagging tails and joyful barks reminded us how powerful love can be. Even small gestures, feeding, petting, or playing can change a life, and in return, they fill our hearts with warmth and hope 🐾. We left the shelter feeling grateful, happy, and inspired to keep spreading love wherever we go.

Dear diary,

Spring in the Netherlands is… creative.

Sun, rain, wind... sometimes all in one day.
Sometimes all in one hour.

The funny part?
Nobody seems surprised.

Working with Dutch teams feels similar:
plans are structured, but flexibility is normal.

Maybe adaptability is not a skill here.
Maybe it’s a habit.

Dear diary,

This month’s Learning & Development session was all about reviewing code with AI 🤖

From GitHub tips to tools like Coderabbit, Greptile and AugmentCode, we explored how AI can actually make code reviews faster, cleaner and just… easier.

Big thanks to Eduard Balamatiuc, CEO at Sigmoid, for keeping it practical and showing how these tools fit into real workflows 💡

Second L&D session this year and we’re just getting started.

More to come 🚀

Dear diary,

We explored Moldova on the big screen 🎥🇲🇩 by watching movie “Hotarul” 🎬,
a story made by Moldovans about life in the village 🌾.

It was funny, warm, and full of little moments that feel so real.
Popcorn in hand 🍿, we immersed ourselves in the story and discovered Moldova through cinema.

Exploring our culture through film this time,
and honestly? It was unforgettable ✨
