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 board on the one from 7:30 PM. Not long after we arrived I noticed that some guys who came after us were already on the 7:30 bus so how can that be possible? Well that’s ... read more

Well we're here. Its another chapter in 'the life'. It may not be glamorous, but damned if it aint good. At least some of the time, inbetween work that is. Caonstanta is beautiful. I tried to come into this trip with out any preconcieved notions but unfortunately, i did! The people are great and to see a nation in the uprising, comeing out of the weeds completely is beautiful. I wish i was more poetic.... read more

It’s been nice here in Costinesti too. I’ve had a wonderful time with my boyfriend. We played in the warm water and took pictures on the “stafilopods”. We hugged and kissed in the warm light…He’s been with me all the time and we’ve shared a lot of great moments together. When the sun set in, there was party time!!! We went to the one place that remains the same every year (in a positive way I mean): White Horse. This rock and roll café or pub is awesome. It’s always crowded in here and the people are great and really know how to have fun. Some traveled for 16 hours and the first place they wanted to visit in Costinesti was White Horse. If you ever come here, don’t miss it! The music is like nowhere ... read more

I don’t want to be a negative thinker. I make abstraction of the bad things around me and try to have fun. I criticize a lot though, but wouldn’t you? Just take a look at what the word “resort” means to some people. I photographed Costinesti and had a revelation of what civilization means to some. I expect things to be different in other countries. For now, I am actually stuck here and obliged to “enjoy” the weird vacation I’m having in this fair. There’s food everywhere. A multitude of kiosks and small shops, fast food counters and “get it yourself” cafeterias pave the way to the beach. It’s a sad view. The place is crowded and smells like fish, kebabs and, the most popular, shawarma (saorma). Maybe it does sound interesting. For a moment you ... read more

I hoped to have a nice summer. I wanted to go abroad and have a unique experience. Things don’t always go as want them to. My plans changed and visiting France, England, Spain or Italy remained a dream for the winter period. However, I did have a “unique” experience as I visited Costinesti, a “village-town” on the shores of the Black Sea. I’ve visited this location before, but its appearance was a little bit different then. Last year, strong storms and floods affected this place. I saw it on TV. Costinesti was devastated. The big Obelisc (or Obelix as some call it), which is the symbol of this resort, was hit by enormous waves and dragged on the beach. The local houses were underwater and many people died. They were afraid for their lives, but for ... read more
