Romania is without a doubt one of my top favorite countries. It was something I realized the moment I left the country to my next country. There is something about the culture, tradition, and spirit of this nation that has my heart. I spend about 2 and a half weeks on a self guided tour around Romania exploring many different cities including a pitstop in Chisinau Moldova. Here is how it went.

From the Ruse border crossing in Bulgaria, I arrived by cab to Bucharest to some really gloomy weather. Out of the whole trip, this experience was one of the most miserable, with tons of rain, overcast, and some winds. As for couchsurfing, my hosts couldn't provide me a key which made me walk around the city for 10 hours. Although It was a rough experience, I did find the city to be beautiful. At my hosts home, I enjoyed some local wine and homemade Romanian cuisine.

First time using Blablacar was from Bucharest to Constanta for only 29 Lei opposed to 50 Lei. Upon arrival, I was greeting by my awesome host from Spain and welcomed me into his apartment with his two other French mates. Together we roamed around Constanta on an unexpected mission to seek out abandoned buildings and structures. We managed to creep into an abandoned Synagogue, apartment building, as well as the imfamous Casino built in 1910.
On two other days, I walked around the Black church and enjoyed some peace and quiet on the beach nearby taking in the sound of the Black sea and taking in the fact that I've been traveling for nearly 2 months.

After a long overnight bus, I made my way to Chisinau Moldova, staying at a cheap hostel near the center. After resting for a bit, I had a delicious meal, walked around the city center, walked to the Circul din Chisinau, an abandoned soviet building, and enjoyed a sunset over the Valea Morilor park. Later in the evening, I enjoyed a movie with some Bucuria chocolate and some cheap Moldovan wine. Fresh in the morning, I caught yet another Blablacar back into Iasi Romania where I spend another day walking around the beautiful city until my host got off work. With her, I enjoyed some Moldovan wine I bought across the border and had some more delicious cuisine.

This wraps up the first half of my journey and only prepares me for an incredible continued voyage across more of Romania as well as the rest of the Balkans. :) Noroc

Brașov:
Brașov is a city in Romania and the administrative centre of Brașov County.
According to the last Romanian census, from 2011, there were 253,200 people living within the city of Brașov, making it the 7th most populous city in Romania, and the metropolitan area is home to 369,896 residents.Brașov is located in the central part of the country, about 166 kilometres (103 miles) north of Bucharest and 380 kilometres (236 miles) from the Black Sea. It is surrounded by the Southern Carpathians and is part of the Transylvania region.The city is notable for being the birthplace of the national anthem of Romania and for hosting the Golden Stag International Music Festival.
With its central location, Brașov is a suitable location from which to explore Romania, and the distances to several tourist destinations (including the Black Sea resorts, the monasteries in northern Moldavia, and the wooden churches of Maramureș) are similar. It is also the largest city in a mountain resorts area. The old city is very well preserved and is best seen by taking the cable-car to the top of Tâmpa Mountain.Temperatures from May to September fluctuate around 23 °C (73 °F). Brașov benefits from a winter tourism season centered on winter sports and other activities. Poiana Brașov is the most popular Romanian ski resort and an important tourist center preferred by many tourists from other European states.
The city also has several restaurants that serve local as well as international cuisine (e.g. Hungarian and Chinese). Some of these are situated in the city center.
The Brașov local transport network is well-developed, with around 50 bus and trolleybus lines. There is also a regular bus line serving Poiana Brașov, a nearby winter resort. All are operated by RAT Brașov. Because of its central location, the Brașov railway station is one of the busiest stations in Romania with trains to/from most destinations in the country served by rail.
The construction of Braşov Airport was initiated by Intelcan Canada on April 15, 2008. Although construction was planned to be finalized in 24 to 30 months, works have lagged and there is no term by which it will be operational. The project consists of a terminal capable of handling 1 million passengers per year and a 2,800-metre-long (9,200-foot) runway. The A3 highway is also planned to pass the city. However, there is no foreseeable date for starting construction.Wikipedia

České dráhy (ČD) or Czech Railways is the main railway operator in the Czech Republic. In 2010 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 41.0 billion (€1.6bn, $2.1bn). Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 18.7 billion (65% transfer payments from the government, 25% intra-state transport, 10% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11.8 billion, revenues from traffic control invoiced to state-owned railway infrastructure operator SŽDC amounted to CZK 5.2 billion. With thirty-eight thousand employees ČD Group is the largest Czech company by the number of employees.

The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railways Cooperation (Asia and Europe).

Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic. After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidies, the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007 although it receives government subsidies. Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.

ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidies available to ČD and SŽDC.

ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.
