COOKIN' UP A STORY: Paid in Blood - Yanni Constantin
from Cookin' Up A Story · host Aaron
Yanni Constantin was born and raised in Romania when it was controlled by the U.S.S.R. Money was tight, opportunities were extremely limited, the only media was state controlled, and his future didn't look very bright. Then, a friend suggested a backpacking trip to Greece. Armed with only what they could carry and no travel visas, they set out for a "vacation," one from which they'd never return. Listen to Yanni detail life in a communist country and how he made his way out in this episode of Cookin' Up a Story. It's a good one.
