Instinct
Selling sweets, repairing computers and trading mobile phones before entrepreneurship had a name.
The story behind the businessman
Not effortless
success.
A real beginning.
From a one-bedroom flat in Romania to building businesses in the United Kingdom, The Life of a Migrant reveals the ambition, mistakes, humour and relationships behind Claudiu-Gabriel Dinu's journey.
The memoir follows his childhood in Ploiești, Romania, where he grew up in a loving family with limited financial resources and developed an instinct for business from an unusually young age.
It explores his restless teenage years, his first journey to Spain, the decisions that tested his character, his return to legitimate business and the relationship that ultimately led him to begin a new life in Britain.
Written with humour, honesty and self-awareness, this is a story about ambition, family loyalty, poor decisions, second chances, business, migration and the lifelong search for something better.
