A journey in time, an encounter, a rediscovery of something that is truly authentic, in this bond between man, God and Nature. This is what I find in Romania. Pure romantism.

In rural Romania we can explore a life style that in other places disappeared a century ago. Traditions, like shepherding, weaving and carpentry are still alive in Romanian villages. In Romania you can see traditions such as ploughing with horses, cutting hay with a scythe, milking cows, making horseshoes by hand, etc.
