What did you think about Romania and Romanians before your first contacts with this country or its inhabitants?
A few words were coming to my mind: poverty, communism, Ceausescu and Dracula… I did not know anything else about Romania.

Did this image change after getting to know a Romanian or after visiting the country? How?
Fortunately, this image has changed! First by meeting 2 fantastic and completely crazy Romanians in Erasmus in Brussels, and then by going 2 weeks for a trip around Romania.

Describe in a few words your best encounter with a Romanian.
First the meeting of A and D, Erasmus-girls in Brussels: we had so much fun! Open-minded, joyful, intelligent, surprising and funny: this is how I can describe them two!

Second : the meeting of all our hosts in Romania. We really felt like in our family. Warm, pleasant, willing to tell us their stories around a glass (and one more, and one more…) of Tuica and make us discover the best things.
