If you are the kind of person that reads the tags when buying clothes and pays attention to where your clothes are manufactured, you may have notice that are many of the worldwide internationally known brands have factories in Europe. But do you know that many of these brands are manufactured in Romania? Brands such as AMI, Harmony, A.P.C, and Max Mara have most of their collections made in Romania.
There is a restaurant in Bucharest that my friends told me about on my recent trip to Romania, called Pot Stories. It's a place filled with natural fabrics, thick carpets, an abundance of greenery and ceramics, rough wooden tables, and rope and wicker.
THERE IS ONE place that I discovered on my short stay in Romania that I wanted to recommend it to you. Brasov, my hometown, is surrounded by mountains and there are myriad choices when it comes to choosing your hiking destination.
“There is a purpose in everything. In order to achieve it, one must detach oneself from an awareness of self.” The importance of this humility lay in the fact that without it one cannot perceive things as they are in themselves; egotism tries to refashion things according its own distorted perceptions. “I am no longer of this world,” wrote the young Brancusi. “I am far from myself, I am no longer a part of my own person. I am within the essence of things themselves.”
Last weekend was white and christmassy, and my city break back home in Brasov was filled with lots of hugs, love and laughs. Currently back to work, but I wanted to share with you a beautiful place from my region, the utterly romantic Transylvania, and more specifically, the Peles Castle.
