Location
Transylvania
Explore the amazing Saxon heritage in a five days trip
Every place has a story and I can take you deep inside the local’s life to find out how come Prince Charles loves coming here, or how small communities came back to life, taking good care of their culture, crafts and traditional homes.
If you add up the Wonderfull local cuisine, the people, the place, unknown photo spots and the good vibes, you’ll never want to live this place. If your interest are history, medieval life and architecture, romantic getaways, local culture, photography and hiking, here you have it, and I know all the right places.
