Damn bro. This made me hungry. I think mama and I will have to go there next summer

Delicios food, wonderful landscape, beautiful people! ❤️❤️❤️
The Transfăgărășan is one of those routes where the landscape alone would justify the journey, but combining it with regional food makes the Carpathians much more interesting. 🇷🇴🏔 Mountain dishes built around pork, cheese and preserved foods reflect generations of living through cold winters and relative isolation. And seeing brown bears so close to roads is also a reminder that Romania still contains some of Europe’s most significant large-wildlife habitats.
I would like to meet you and shake your hand.so natural and enjoyable.
Nice videos,simple,enjoying real food,hopefully behind the scenes was not that bad.it can happen anywhere. Good luck in your next trips
