This is a top pick! ... to be carrying my world on my back. The next morning I walked to the train station, bought an overnight ticket to Bucharest, Romania, and then wandered around all day killing time until the 7pm train. Sofia is pleasant and all, but there's not a whole ...

Sloping Cobblestone Streets
This is a top pick! ... made use of our weekend off and traveled to Sighisoara. The adventure began at 6:00 Saturday morning when we began to use Romania's not-so-efficient public transportation system. Sighisoara is only 250 kms away from where we are living, but between the ...
What I Came Here to Do
This is a top pick! We've now moved into our cute little three bedroom apartment. We each have a roommate, and although we are definitely quite the mix of people, we get a long great. I am living in a great little city, situated in a valley. From anywhere in town, I always ...
A LITTLE ABOUT MY TRIP TO ROMANIA
This is a top pick! ... in trouble and lost power when his cousin betrayed him, making up the story that Vlad drank blood. I'd come to Romania, to Transylvania more specifically, in search of old villages with stone central squares surrounded by buildings faced like long ...
TRAVELING LIGHT
This is a top pick! ... Ukraine. The countries of the former U.S.S.R., to me, represent their own part of this world. Therefore, when I would leave Romania later that evening, I would be leaving Europe. And you can't leave a continent without a few good lists. 5 ...
Chilling in Vama Veche
This is a top pick! Tavi's coursin Mihnea took us on a whirlwind weekend to Vama Veche after several hours of adventurous driving through small villages in the middle of nowhere, swerving around stray dogs and horse carts in the dark. Vama Veche used to be a ...
Sibiu - a teutonic island in the center of Romania
This is a top pick! Sibiu is the most charming town in Romania which we have seen and looks little like the rest of the towns we've seen in Romania (though Brasov has some of the same elements). The city was founded in the 13th century by German settlers and the place ...
quick stopover
This is a top pick! I saw nothing in Bucharest. Not really, anyways. Took a train down with three other people I had met in Brasov - all of us where using Bucharest as a stopover point on to other destinations. We got into town just after 5:30pm. Three hours later we ...
Dracula...bwaa--hahaha....
This is a top pick! Brasov is the largest town in Transylvania with just under 300,000 people. Itīs also the main centre used for people looking to check out Dracula and Bran Castle. I got in very early in the morning from Moldova and into the hostel around 6:30am. ...
The city of cars and cars and cars
This is a top pick! ... Korea, and while his country was starving, Ceausescu ripped up a large area of historic buildings to create B-dul Unirii, Romania's equivalent of Champs Elysees. A 3.2km boulevard, resembling more a car park with the dense traffic. The western point of ...
Dracula's Castle
This is a top pick! I was excited to arrive in Transylvania.... the home of Dracula! But this region is so much more than just Dracula's home. It is famous for it's mountains, castles, beautifully preserved medieval towns and wines. I stayed in a ...

The painted Monastries
This is a top pick! ... stuck our hands out, waved like a whore, and within minutes, we were in a car heading back to our little guesthouse. That was the story of the paintings. The foaming Japanese/Englishman was right. If in Romania, visit these. You will not be ...
Vamps
This is a top pick! ... There is a statue of a wolf with Romulus and Remus, just like in Rome. I wonder if that is why it is called Romania !!!!! Then we found the Cathederal. For a Latin language country, it is not predominantly Roman Catholic, but this was special. All of the ...
DACIA, ROMANIAN AUTOMOBILE
This is a top pick! I was hitchhiking in Romania when two guys picked me up. From the outside, their car had looked like a little tuttering low-rider that an old countryside man would've driven twenty miles and hour in during the 1930's. From the backseat of ...
Lameville
This is a top pick! ... border with Moldova and its famed for its nightlife and charming town. It use to be the capital of Moldova and also Romania so it had some serious history to it. I tired to couch-surf here because there is no ...
Home of Drucula! (cue scary music and dim lights.)
This is a top pick! ... she wanted to see could be seen on TV. I think this misses the concept of editing, but who am I to argue ;) Romania is a country that is evolving from a relatively recent communist dictatorship into a potential EU member if all goes as planned next ...
Bucharest not my favorite place.
This is a top pick! ... one of the most honest girls ever. I know there are some very nice people in Romania but it just seemed weird to me that the nicest person in Romania I met was from another country. Meeting Nina from Moldova made my trip to Romania a great ...
Sibiu
... out was sold out, and it was raining. The European Eccuminical Council was having their 2007 meeting. When did Romania become a conference destination? We found a room in an office building a 5 minute walk from the actual hotel, ...
Carpathian Mountains
I don't really feel like writing much. Feel free to ask any questions about Brasov. Oh yeah, I took the train to Sinaia which is a ski town up in the mountains. There must have been a soccer game in Bucharest because the train was full of hooligans on ...
Probably the best city in the world
