Wow.

My mind is literally blown from the absolutely EPIC experience I had in Romania. I went traveling all over Romania for a Month from Mid July until Mid August. The food. The People. The scenery. All of it beautiful, raw, real and unspoiled authentic. You could go to Romania and live there relatively cheap, and enjoy five-star hotels for fractions of the cost of other European cities.

Along the way we went to Bucharest, Breaza, Targoviste, Dumbovicioara National Park, Fundata (where I took the Milky Way image!!), Rasnov, Brasov, Sighisoara, Targu-Mures, Sovata, Salina Turda, Cheile Bicazului and Iasi. We encountered Romanian traffic jams (cows blocking the road and a herd of sheep blocking a bridge), curious squirels and goats, gorgeous scenery and the dicotomy of ancient history and modern architecture.

Along the way I snapped as much as I could. Please, thumb through the album and share the beauty that is this amazing country! A few of the images have been submitted to the Smithsonian Magazine photo contest (you can view them here, and here, and here, and here, and lastly, here.

If you’d like to purchase any of the finer images from the gallery, you can do so here.

So, enjoy:
