Why do you want to show people your region?

Transylvania has a vast cultural heritage and a rich history. It is also a region where, for hundreds of years, different ethnic communities have lived together. I want to offer authentic tours that make tourists understand the diversity of this region and experience fragments of rural life.

What challenges do you see for Romanian villages?

Multiple challenges. I will focus on those in my field, tourism. There are many villages in Romania with tourism potential (natural, cultural, etc.). Unfortunately, many times the local population is not trained to offer complete tourism experiences, either because of vision, or due to lack of technological skills or knowledge of foreign languages.
