Bogdan believes the automotive industry is one of the most interesting things nowadays, so working as an autoevolution editor is like a dream come true. Although he obtained a driving license when he was 19, he had a particular interest in cars ever since he was a child. His other hobbies include driving (as expected), computers and operating systems, gadgets, sports and music.
