Adriana Ene is a well-known radio and tv journalist from Romania, loved by the Romanian children who live in or outside the country for her more than 8 years radio program „The Joy of Stories”.
She started as a reporter for cultural programs at Romanian National Television and step by step she became TV host, producer and creator of television programs for children. After eleven years of television, she developed a wonderful relation with radio shows for children and she is still in.

With that occasion, she met great storytellers like Jeff Gere (Hawaii), Margaret Read MacDonald (Washington), Alicia DongJoo Bang (South Korea), Wajuppa Tossa (Thailand) and others like them. It was love at first sight of the art of storytelling and from that moment, thanks to Giorgiana Popan, a great Romanian storyteller, she started to really connect with what storytelling means.
She was invited in International Storytelling Festivals in Romania and she also organized for two years in a row the International Storytelling Festival “We are stories” in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
She followed the course “Next Steps” – storytelling school – at Emerson College, Sussex, England, where she was close to others storytellers from all over the world and of the great Ashley Ramsden.
