About me
I am 33, and moved together with my girlfriend in 2010 from Holland to Romania. My first time in Eastern Europe was in 1992 in Romania. Since then i have travelled a lot in Romania, its neighbouring countries and some of the other ex Soviet states. I used it for my studies as well; a received a bachelors degree in History and a masters degree in Eastern European Studies.
Last summer we bought a traditional wooden house with a big garden in the beautiful village of Breb, Maramures (northern Romania). Why we did this, i am unfortunately not allowed to say according to the TT-rules :(
