Murderer!

Sunday, 30th September 2012

Judit, my Hungarian colleague, who works now in Amsterdam is here in Bucharest on a project. During the week we work together and in the weekends we travel to explore the beauties of Romania.

A Nice Weekend in Varna

Saturday, 29th September 2012

Two weeks ago I decided to visit the Bulgarian seaside near Varna. It is only 260 km from Bucharest and its beach called Golden Sand is a very popular seaside resort. And itâ€™s super cheap, too!

Dried Cod

Wednesday, 15th August 2012

Faces of Bucsecs

Tuesday, 8th May 2012

Last weekend saw me exploring the Carpathian Mountains again. This time I went to Bucsecs, a mountain area just 2 hours drive from Bucharest, just at the border of Transylvania. This area is characteristic of its enormous rock faces but I saw some other friendly faces as well!

A Visit to Dracula Land

Thursday, 26th April 2012

Since work brought me to Romania for a year I use my weekends to travel around the country whenever the weather permits. Last weekend was my first longer trip and my destination was Brasov / BrassÃ³ / Kronstadt, a beautiful old city on the Southern border of Transylvania.
