Romania, Family travel
My stepfather is from Telega, a town near the capital. It is entertaining and familiar, you can see many interesting things and the food is delicious, plus the people are quite friendly and really helpful.

There was mountains. It was very beautiful. I was eating langoasa with sheep cheese. Everything was good. The nature is wanderful. There are bears, lovely bears. Also there is a monastery in mountains

The experience was quite nice. You can sightsee here a lot because the City is small. Also you can use the tramway to go everywhere. Bailey Felix, Bear Cave, Piata Uniri are the famous places to see.

The city center of the Timisoara is really safe, I can also walk in the middle of the night and don't care that something can happen. Of course, you need to be attentive, but in general my experience is good

I would say that is one of the safest cities in the world. Pretty peaceful, people mind their own business, no-one is taking your purse if is it in your possession, at night is safeties to stay on the popular streets.

Daytime safety is 100%. Overall safe esp if you are not alone at night in the old town center. Romanian culture is still not totally safe for lgbtq+ comunity so beware of public areas at night if you want to go out. Drug culture is a thing so beware of your drink at all times in old town center if you are solo. Besides that, everything is 99% safe. You can always count on women and gen z to help out if anything. Whoever is dressed most “weird” is probs more trustworthy.

Bucharest is generally very safe, in my area, Titan, I feel safe walking at night, as it's well light and peaceful. I haven't had many bad experiences. In Piața Unirii there's gypsies selling stuff and I wouldn't walk alone at night in centrul vechi ( Old Town), but I've been with friends and felt safe, there's people around at night too. Pay attention to your bags in general, but especially near Gara de Nord and Piata Unirii. Other less reputable neighborhoods are Ferentari and Rahova, but...

About me
I'm Lia, 29, and I was born in Timisoara, Romania. I love traveling and would love to meet new people who I can share some of my travels with. I walked the Camino de Santiago in 2024 (from Sant Jean Pied de Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain, and then on to Finisterre and Muxia - about 900km on foot) and it's been the most fulfilling experience of my life, especially since I did it solo. I love to travel for concerts (so far I've seen Noah Kahan, Billie Eilish, Rosalia, The Last Dinner Party, Chappell Roan, Brandi Carlile, and a few others) but also to visit theme parks (I'm a rollercoaster enthusiast and would love to connect with more women who love to chase the thrills). I speak fluent English and Romanian, but I also can have a decent conversation in Spanish. When I'm not traveling, I'm an independent artist (singer/songwriter and busker) and a guitar/voice teacher. I also volunteer with a queer organization and have worked as an Erasmus+ trainer on Digital Storytelling for the queer community.

About me
I’m someone who likes to connect, I also like honesty, and self-growth. I enjoy learning about people, noticing small details, and bringing warmth into the spaces I’m in. I’m thoughtful, curious, and always becoming a better version of myself. Short, human, and basic , or painfully specific, that’s also doable.
