I wanted to do something random and exciting and a Leonardo mobility internship in Romania felt like just the thing! So when I told my friends, family and work colleagues that I would be moving to Romania for four months there was always an awkward pause followed by "ROMANIA!?". I guess a lot of people have perceptions on what Romania and other Eastern European countries are like. I do not want this to be a negative blog post because my time in Romania has been very enjoyable and fun. And I truly believe that being different has contributed to this. Some of the best friends that I made, who I know will be friends for life, I made because they had the confidence to approach me at a bar or on the train and start a conversation with me. My time here in Romania has come to an end but I know that I will be back to visit (maybe even on a permanent basis) to the beautiful Carpathian land.
