Hello, hello everyone!

It's been ages since I last posted on 3Speak, ugh! However, so it was editing my travel videos in general because I ended up doing video editing on a daily basis which more or less reduced the passion for editing these videos as well, almost getting the ich like doing it on a working basis.

But as I like saying that my trips still feel very present even if they were taken a couple of years ago, I really wanted to get ready this aftermovie from my trip in Venice and its surroundings, which is not a common vlog or travel video, but more like an aftermovie or cinematic film where you get to enjoy bits of everything I've seen while listening to music.

So, for the sake of reviving these memories and explore everything other than by reading a travel article, here it's what kept an entire day busy by editing. There are still stories to be shared through this trip but as I hardly find my motivation to write anything travel related lately as it brings lots of sadness with it after 2 years with no trips at all, I thought I should make th effort and edit this video a bit earlier before waiting for all the memories created in Italy be shared.

Hope you enjoy it!

And I know that it's been a looong while since my last video posted but I struggled a lot with the pleasure of always being connected to a camera during my trips and don't enjoy everything to the maximum. However, during my trip together with my boyfriend from August 2022, I was still having my camera with me and did manage to capture lots of beauty through the lens that I can't wait for you to discover other than through travel blogs.

Sorry for not posting this on time and on Saturday as I used you with my travel posts but 3Speak had some serious problems lately and it took me more than 24 hours trying to process this video. Anyway, this one represents my first trip together with my boyfriend, so it means a lot to me! Also, there are some more videos coming up soon, but from two foreign countries. No spoilers! 😁

Even if I've never been one of those people who enjoy going to the Zoo just for the sake of seeing some animals locked in small cages, there are also places that offer to both people and animals more than that! And happily, I managed to find a place like this which not only made my relationship with animals get stronger but also helped me understand their behavior better, as well as feeding tens of species with my own hands!

Unfortunately, as much as I'd try, it would still be hard to express the whole feeling in words because it's something needed to be felt, instead of just read somewhere on the Internet or watched through a video. And even though I created a video from this place, I tried to focus more on the time spent with the animals so there will be some species missing, but which can be seen in my travel article posted a few weeks ago.

This video represents a short trip we had one year ago, but some new series from 3 countries are coming up soon, so make sure not to miss them! 😁

And I bet I wasn't the single one looking forward to seeing 2022 coming to an end and having a fresh start to a new year. Unfortunately, 2023 didn't begin the best for me especially since I got both my email and Instagram account hacked, but happily, I managed to get them back before turning into something really bad.

Anyway, the video you will see today is a different presentation of the place I wrote about in the previous week. But since I always try to make my audience enjoy the experience I had as much as possible, I thought about sharing a short video with Brambura Park as well.

While in my post I managed to take some shots without having lots of people covering the background, with the video part it was a little bit more difficult. But at least it shows how accurately this house was built, presenting both normal shots but also the ones with the bottom to the top.

And that's exactly the reason why I together with my family enjoy exploring less known places more than any other popular place which even though we do visit these from time to time as well, we still end up visiting more unknown offered by the wilderness of Romania. 😀

So while the video begins with a fairly popular location in Romania that perhaps everyone visits if they get to that side of the country Bicaz Gorges, the adventure continues on two more gorges that are well linked with the popular one but where you won't get to meet too many tourists on the way - Bicăjel Gorges and Șugău Gorges.

However, mountains don't offer just peaks and some paths in the forest, but also lakes which even though they are natural or not, they still represent a cool place where you go to rest for a while and chill your mind. And the one that gave us this feeling the most was Zetea Lake but we still spent a while also at The Red Lake that could be a lot more peaceful if it wasn't so popular, along with Bicaz Lake.

Though, a less pleasant thing that you can discover in nature which is created by people, is represented by the mining activities which sometimes go too far, like it happened at The Andesite Quarry. But still people can create awesome and unique places, remembering about The Heart of Jesus statue which is the largest statue of Jesus from Eastern Europe.

And last but not least, we couldn't end up this series of episodes without having a stop in a very wild peat bog with lots of unique species and things to see, along with the adrenaline you feel while stepping on a fragile path that keeps you on the surface - Fantana Brazilor peat bog.

So while we were on the way to the next destination, we figured out that no matter if it's cold and rainy, we would feel really sad not to take advantage of the longest bobsled track from Romania. I let you figure out what happened if you are patient enough and watch the video till the end! 😀

Here are the links to the places you will see in the video which you can read more about in my previous blog posts:

This video represents the 6th episode from our yearly road trip around Romania (from 2021) which is also the last one from this series, but lots of cool things and new places discovered coming up soon! 😁

Just as I promised last Friday, today I returned with a new episode from the gorgeous road trip we had in Romania last year. But guess what? There is one more episode that will come out next week, so hang in there! 😀

Anyway, since the places shown in my previous post shared more of a chill vibe, today we will explore more the wilderness of nature reaching a bastion that came with quite a few challenges because the area was very populated with bears and we had a few attempts before making our way to the destination.

The next stop was to a lake and dam called "Frumoasa" which means "Beautiful" in English, and I'm sure you will agree that it deserves its name especially because it keeps its charm even during rainy and cloudy days. Yay!

Unfortunately, we had the same unfriendly weather also while exploring the ruins of a church that was bombed in the past but which is also home to some creepy legends that wouldn't sound so credible if the sun would be up on the sky, lol.

And last but not least, a little party fun never killed nobody, right? That's what we thought too!

I know that it's been too many months since my last video posted but sometimes I enjoy so much writing that I end up postponing the editing process with one more week for the sake of sharing another place discovered. And I did this for the last couple of months ending up with no video since July! Shame on me! 😀

Anyway, since there are quite a lot of places I've wrote about lately, undoubtedly the next weeks will come with visual material rather than a bunch of words to read, lol.

So while so far you've read more or less where I've been and what I've explored in my beloved country, today is the time to lay down on your back and listen to some music while watching my video that sums up 3 locations I've shared details about in the past.

The very first location explored is a cemetery dedicated to the soldiers that gave up on their lives with the hope of protecting their country during World War I and II. While it's not the first time when I check out a place like this one, I was really surprised to find a special room with all the bones of those soldiers stored together.

The next destination is a bit less sober but still with a little bit of adrenaline felt while we were walking on a little bridge floating on top of a peat bog. Along with the dramatic landscape and challenges at every step, we also got to see lots of cool plants specific to this environment.

And last but not least, we had one of those long walks in the heart of the mountains following various paths, crossing bridges, and getting into caves while reconnecting with nature in the right way.

This video represents the 4th episode from our yearly road trip around Romania (from 2021) and I promise to return with a new interesting episode next week! 😁

Today's video is going to present the 2nd situation in which even though we were roaming just a small part of the map, we literally didn't know how to split our time so we won't miss any of the things that were waiting for our visit, so do expect a video with quite a few places that are a must to add on your bucket list if you ever visit this part of Romania. 😀

Anyway, today you'll see just 5 of the many locations we discovered while spending a few days in Buzau county, so if you want an even longer list, there are a few more episodes to watch that are no less interesting.

However, since I already discussed about these when their time came, now we should focus on today's picks which are a mix of everything, getting to see a lake that even though is a very wild and peaceful place, all the way to it will be a real pain for the car, lol. Happily, the lake is the single one which came with this sacrifice while the other 4 spots are a little bit more accessible for both cars and tourists who prefer hiking instead of choosing the fast option.

The first stop was unplanned to a rock which from the distance it seemed like a tiny mountain of salt which wouldn't be weird to meet since in the same region there are some spectacular mountains of salt but which we failed to reach due to the lack of road signs and information of how to get there, so we had to say thank you for the place we discovered instead and leave with the thought that maybe in a few years we will meet the spot we had in plan initially.

From there we moved to some interesting stones which are called trovants and are bringing lots of curious eyes with their properties of growing up just like a plant grows over time. Not to mention about their interesting shapes which will remind you of the UFOs and other unusual things. These are also my favourite place out of the things you will see in the video.

Though, we didn't stop there and moved on to the lake I already told you about, being followed by a genuine piece of history with a fountain built as a 'thank you' to one of the biggest heroes of Romania.

Our journey came to an end at the first waterfall we've seen in 2021 which even though was turned into a very accessible place for anyone who wants to reach it being able to do it by driving very close to it, I'm happy it managed to keep its properties making you feel a special connection to it as soon as you get there. Additionally, it comes with a cool legend that way too few know about.

This also represents the 3rd episode from our yearly road trip around Romania and I can't wait to release all the episodes with the places we explored in 2021! 😁

Happily, our travelling feet dedicated 2021 to this kind of places and managed to explore quite a few from this part of the world, summing up 3 of the most active ones in the attached video.

All three locations you will see, are part of the Buzau County, starting with The Mud Volcanoes from Pâclele Mari that are also the most popular ones and where you will meet many tourists from all over the world, and ending with Fierbatorile de la Berca (Active Muddy Volcanoes in Romania) that seemed as being the most active ones but also placed in a very wild location where you will be alone with the nature.

The Mud Volcanoes from Pâclele Mari are the main place tourists are coming in the county to visit but just 2 km away from these are The Mud Volcanoes from Pâclele Mici which honestly, I enjoyed a lot more. It's true that you can't reach these with a car as it happens in the first place and perhaps we can talk about a little comfort from some of the tourists, but overall, those who truly love unique places offered by nature, will make an effort no matter what. 😃

There is also a camping base right under these so no better way to connect with the nature other than resting at the foothills of some of the most interesting parts of the county!

Anyway, as much as I would love to talk about those formations starting with how they appeared, what they are making and why are so important for the whole world, as much I have already wrote for each place in my articles that I'll leave attached down below so you can read more if interested because I don't want to make this post too long. 💚

This video was supposed to come out the previous Saturday but due to being super busy and doing lots of things in a short period of time, I messed this a little writing a travel blog instead which is also going to come with a video for it in a few weeks, but until then, here's the first episode from our yearly road trip around Romania. Hope you like it! ❣️

Even though you can read more about each of the places presented in the video in the links down below, I still feel like making a short introduction, so here we go. 😃

Every year, I and my family take a road trip in our beloved home country, visiting places more or less known. However, back in 2021 we decided to start with Cheile Orzei (Orzea Gorges) which we wanted to visit since 2018 but for some reasons the access was forbidden. That's how we returned a few years later with the same mission which was a real success, yay! 😇

But as we don't want to waste too much time in a single place wanting to see as many things as possible, we moved on the next one which is the first sightseeing attraction from Buzau County where you can see plenty of things. Our first stop was at Tabăra de Sculptură Măgura (The Carving Camp from Magura) where you can discover more than 360 unique sculptures, so you are definitely going to spend some time exploring everything. 😜

Here's the links to the places you will see in the video which you can read more about:

Since it's been a while when I last played with effects in a video, I'm curious what you think about this 3,5 minutes long video which basically sums up two days spent on a journey! Oh, and don't forget this is just the first episode of quite a few more that will come out soon! 😀
