Picture
Covered in a curtain of crispy fresh snow Sighişoara lay before me. Shimmering of frost, yet warming up my heart with the tender tones tinting the history of Romania… both in architecture as in its turbulent stories of times long gone but not forgotten. Clouds of burnt wood meandering out of red brick chimneys matched the hot white puffs leaving my mouth, vaporizing in wintry air. A voice disguised as the wind whispered I reached the core of Romania, shielded from the test of time marked by frictions and communism. Romania how it was meant to be and how it wants to be remembered.
It’s not so much about what you can do in Sighişoara. It’s there. It was and it will be.

Like time wrapped into a tight cocoon in an era of raging modernism and continuous progression, available on request for those in search of that bright shadow of nostalgia. 

High up on a hill, connecting earthly routine with invented heavens. ​
In order to support the travelers’ community, I spend many hours per week to adequately document all information and advices for prospective visitors, accompanied by a (hopefully) entertaining insight into my personal observations and experiences.
