City break in my country, Romania !

One of the most popular travel offers which popped up from the brain of the travel marketers across Europe and not only, in the last decade is the idea of “city break”… Targeting people with jobs and careers who would like to escape a bit from their usual weekends to discover new destinations… Usually, people enjoy these city breaks in fall and spring between their summer seaside holidays and winter skiing escapes (or Christmas – New Year breaks). Paris, London, Rome or Barcelona are full with these city breakers during these normally off-season months… But have you ever considered doing a city break in Romania, as well ? I guess few of you… maybe because Romania is not so well-known, maybe you don’t know what you can visit here… and why you should do a city break in Romania… So, that’s why I want to present a few of the cities which can delight you !

A Weekend in Sibiu

To be honest it’s pretty hard to write down my thoughts right now. I don’t usually write my articles while still “fresh in my heart and mind”, I wait a bit longer, so my thoughts, my impressions and my feelings settle down. But now I really cannot avoid writing about the weekend I spent in Sibiu. And not because the other participants to the bloggers trip already filled the internet with the story of our trip to Sibiu, but because I still have a smile on my lips following this weekend, although I traveled for 5 hours and a half by bus coming from Sibiu at 40 degrees (outside) and about 30 (inside). By the way if you plan on going to Sibiu by bus try riding a Fany or Dacos bus, as they have better buses. But let’s not digress. read more…

7 Wonders of Romania

During the last few months, I had a special project on my Romanian blog. I asked my readers to take part at the process of electing the 7 wonders of Romania – the most important men-built monuments of my country. The election was organized in two rounds – in the first round, I asked people to nominate 10 “wonders” – the monuments they believe are representative for Romania. After 3 weeks, I counted all the nominations and I set up a list of the 15 most nominated monuments of Romania. In the second round, my readers were asked to vote 7 out of these 15 choices. The response was truly overwhelming. I received thousands of nominations (almost 150 nominated monuments) and almost 4000 votes in the final round. So, I decided that my first post about my country to present you what Romania has the best. Not selected by myself, but by thousands of voters ! So, let’s start a journey amongst the best Romania can show to the world.
