Life in the countryside

Romanian countryside is still very rural. For most foreigners travelling to the Romanian villages is like travelling in the past. Traditions as old as time are kept alive to this day, the locals’ primary relation with the nature around them is still strongly felt, and the community still has an important role in the private life.
