  • I got a chance to spend a couple of days in the fantastic city of Brasov, Romania. After seeing The Black Church, riding the cable car to the top of Tampa Mountain and exploring all of the remnants of the defense system for the city, I wonder if there is a better place to visit in the entire country.
    Take a look and see what you think. If there is a better place, please let me know. I will want to go there, for sure!

    Having retired in 2023, I now travel full-time, seeing places all around the world. My idea for UA-cam is to make the videos more about the places and people along the way, than about me. I hope that the experience for you is both entertaining and educational. Perhaps you will come away from my channel with ideas about places you would like to visit or be inspired to forge your own way.
    I travel slowly, spending four or five weeks in each destination. Hopefully, that will allow me to go beyond the surface to find the essence of each location. By the end of 2024, I will have visited 14 countries and five of the seven continents. Come along for the journey!

    I love Brasov! My wife grew up there and we have a family flat about a 10 minute walk from the city square/Black Church. We always get a beer or cappuccino in the square and people watch. We are moving there full-time in 3 years and have started investing in real estate already.
    (Edit: the Black Church still has bullet holes from the revolution!)

      Brasov is definitely one of those places where it would be wonderful to live. I wish you well in making a new home for yourself there.
      Thank you for watching!

    There are no perfect places because people have such different criteria, tastes and cultural perceptions, and I think that a city can be compared to music, some vibrate more emotionally to it, others less.
    As a Romanian, I don't know if Brașov is the best, but it's definitely a remarkable one. Among the top five obviously, leaving aside the capital, Bucharest... which enters a different vibe.
    I usually don't leave comments, but your video is so well done. Great job ✌

      Thank you so much for the kind words!
      Yes, Different cities will resonate with different people. Wondering if Brasov is the best city in Romania then, is a very individualized matter. The idea is to get people thinking!
      That being said, I thought Brasov was wonderful.

    Преди няколко години посетих посетих Брашов, който ме очарова с природата, историята и архитектурата си. Той е нетипичен град за Румъния заради саксонското население. За съжаление по времето на Чаушеску то е било принудено да напусне и сега има много малко от него. Благодаря ви, че ми показахте места, които не видях поради краткия си престой, и обогатихте картината за града. Желая попътен вятър в платната на вашия кораб при пътешествията! До скоро.🤩🤗

      Благодаря много! Би било очарователно да видим каква щеше да бъде Румъния днес, ако не беше под властта на комунизма през всичките тези години.

    I think you meant to say that Disney creations resemble the roof of the Catherine Tower! 😂
