Born and raised in Romania, I started this blog back in 2013 to help people learn more about this country. I am sharing, based on personal experience and in-depth research, articles about Romania's top attractions, living here and everything you can think of that involves this underrated country. I have helped people make the move to Romania - and they're still calling it their home, but also many travelers interested to learn more about the country. I have lived in several cities in Romania throughout the year and I constantly travel around the country, so I always have the best, latest and most up to date information to share.
