Imagine this. You draw a design of a yacht that is futuristic you think , visionary you think , revolutionary you think , an amazing concept you think and show it to your closest friends. The feedback is not good, rather critical. The only positive answer comes from your sister: Amazing!
And she says Amazing! So before you put your design in the bottom drawer you send it to a couple of portals and magazines β nothing to lose β and move on. Not much happens for a couple of days. One morning you wake up and you find that your design isβ¦ everywhere. I have no idea where this comes from especially as I lived so far away from the sea.
In school, high school, even throughout university I was always drawing boats. The yacht designs came later, they were more artistic and I was just doing them for myself. George won a scholarship at an American University in Vienna and after four years graduated with a degree in International Relations and International Business. Shortly after his graduation he began to work as a cruise ship manager for a company that operated cruise vessels on the Danube river.
These vessels were not there to be built. They were works of art and they only inspired my feelings and interest. I was invited to radio shows, television shows, received a special recognition from the Romanian prime minister and appeared on the biggest talkshow in Romania.
This surreal and instant fame in the world of yacht design George never takes for granted. When I first arrived to Monaco eight years ago I was shy and this definitely helped.
