From Piatra Olt to Stafford, via Spain

I am from Piatra Olt, in Olt county, Romania. I finished school there, obtained B, C and E driving categories at 18, and started a period at the University of Pitesti between 2009 and 2011. The real training came later: work, moving, a new language and projects I built myself.

The Spain years

Between 2010 and 2016 I lived in Spain, in cities such as Bilbao, Santander, Pamplona, Valencia, Madrid and Leon. I worked briefly in construction, then as a van driver, including long routes between Spain and France. That is where I met Tudorita Cara, who became my wife. Spain remains a period with good memories, not a closed CV chapter.

The UK: from a car wash to HGV

In 2016 I moved to the United Kingdom with my family. I passed through Coventry, Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent and now Stafford. The first jobs were the ones you take when you arrive: car wash, warehouses, van deliveries. After CPC in 2018 I moved into heavy transport. It was not a cinematic jump. It was a sequence of jobs until the rhythm settled.

I write this because many people search for “Nistor Ionel” and want a path, not a slogan. If you land on ionelnistor.ro, this is the thread: Romania, Spain, the UK, professional transport and, in parallel, custom websites.
