Elena_Alexia - Elena

Elena Im Elena and the journey of my life would be in Peru, to walk the Inka trail. Beside this in no particular order come New Zeeland, Tibet, Egypt, Israel.....I promise u'll all know when that will happen.
ps: after 2 years in a multinational company, I realised that my full time job (M - F / 8 AM to 10 PM) doesnt allow me to travel as much as I wish. Hoping for the best, have fun people!

First glance upon arrival in Busteni!
Hi guys, long time no see! Well what about last weekend? Did I ever said NO to a mountain trip invitation? So let’s summarize: last Friday I resigned my current job! After a quick gathering with some friends we all agreed I need to get out of the city and relax my mind after such stressful decision. Its end of May and the mountain area is best get away! Saturday at 7 o’clock in the morning we all were in front of train line No 9 waiting the ride to Busteni. I havent slept all night but I hardly waited to [View Full Entry]

The 3 stars bus somewhere on the highway to Constanta
Incredible Romania! What makes summer a good summer? Hot weather, time on your side, sea, sand, getting a tan or even sunburnt and nothing would be so fun without close friends to share all that with. Well we didn’t have much time on our side just an extended weekend as we decided to catch the Friday evening bus towards Constanta. So we arrived at the bus station around 7:15 PM where we found more than 200 people waiting to get on the same bus. The buses were scheduled to leave every 30 minutes but we realised we have no chance to [View Full Entry]

She was happy to give me details about her costume: traditional wear from Oas region - Satu Mare, every piece is handmade.
National Folklore Festival - 3 days of traditional music, dances, food and art. A great project that took place in Cismigiu Park, perfect location in my oppinion. During the 3 days more than 400 singers and dancers performed on the stage from all the regions in Romania - definetly one doesnt get the chance to see all of them at once in the same place. Personally I dont listen to folklore music besides weddings and special events but I love the costumes, dancing and that aura those people performing have it. It was a great opportunity to learn more about each [View Full Entry]

"Use the blessed chance - that of being a human - to make the world better, fairer and more beautiful, not only for mankind but for the whole nature!" Herman Oberth - one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics. After 3 wonderful days in Sighisoara we were heading towards Sibiu. Bought ourselves tickets to the mini-bus and 2 hours later there we were! Since Friday the weather was very very hot and the Sunday noon ride was a nightmare - I ve promised my self I ll never travel in a mini-bus (peasants traveling with frozen lambs in their [View Full Entry]

Veni, vidi, vici.. actually Sighisoara conqured me!... nothing I could write can describe the feeling I had while I was staying there... First thing I noticed when I arrived there was the train station...not very clean and first impression always counts for foreigners. Coming from Bucharest Im very used to crazy taxi drivers who try to overcharge the clients but I was amazed to meet really polite and honest people. It was [View Full Entry]

May ur days be merry and bright and may all ur Christmases be white! That's what I wish u all friends, family and readers of this blog. Unfortunately this Christmas wasn’t a white one here in Bucharest.. only for those lucky enough who traveled up in the mountain cities and villages.. Oh how I wish I had vacantion and I would have spend it in a remote village up in Maramures, where people still wear traditional clothes, gather together to sing old Christmas carols, cook divine traditional food and travel on sledge pulled by horses. Well so far it wasn’t so [View Full Entry]

Signing the marriage certificate..
First of all this blog is inspired by a lady named Donna......never met her..just read her blog right here.. and reading her blog I realised that u can learn something about a culture just by observing its customs ..so this is how it goes a romanian wedding (the grooms r one of my oldest friends since childhood): Like any wedding long time ahead u have to reserve a restaurant, buy a wedding dress, sending invitations, etc… and here comes the big day: 8 AM - hair stylist reservation for city hall ceremony (of course the bride’s imagine is most important) 9 [View Full Entry]

My getaway

 Europe » Romania » Transylvania » Brasov
Saturday 6:30 am, Nothing can stop me..clouds, rain...distance..I need a breath of fresh air..I love Bucharest, the people, the streets - mix of old and new, the chaos..I cant live without his noisy personality but from time to time I have to run away as far as I can... So got my friends togheter, lots of patience, laughters and drive towards Transylvanian mountains. First stop was to Posada's cinegetic museum where i had a sweet encounter with a friendly bear (lately they r turists atraction when they come down from woods to Brasov or Sinaia for a meal from garbage).
