Thank you for being here! WELCOME TO ROMANIA :) I am so grateful to experience life, learn and grow with you! XOXO

Welcome to Romania ,i love see a lot of people move in my country 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴 god bless You 🥰

I am very close to making the move there. I just came back from spending a month in Bucharest and Brasov. Love the people and everything else!

Good luck and I hope you enjoy my hometown !!! Looks like you are in Cluj-Napoca, where I've spent 21 years,before I moved to US..24 years ago (7 years in Orange County ,CA and 17 in Phoenix,AZ). We enjoy visiting Romania almost every year and I am sure we will move back some day.

Buying plastic bags at grocery store is common all over Europe. The story of Dracula was written by a Irish writer.

Great video! Thank you for sharing that information with us.

Thanks for your honesty and sincerety Dorothy ;-) I live in the states for 10+ years and can easily relates to all your 10 points 🙂

Thank you for your video.

Thank you for your sharing

Good luck! I hope you feel welcome 😊

Thank you for this video - taking our first European vacation to Bucharest in September. Will definitely remember to bring my own reusable bag for groceries. 😊

Its funny to see the foreign reaction when they come to Romania, and they see that we dont have 3 legs, 5 hands, we have iphone's, we Have modern appliances. And so on. This makes me wonder: who lived under a rock: romanians or the foreigners? :)

The term gypsy had become a controversial word because people who don’t know anything about Romania tend to confuse Romany people for Romanians who are completely different people. Romanians tend to hate being associated with the gypsies/Romany as their culture is often anti-sociable or irregular and many of them are more prone to commit crimes as a result.

Nice. And also true

Moving abroad without an adapter! How American. As a southeastern EU, I can assure you that sarcasm constitutes 90% of our communication. It is all about intent and situations. If not expected, it will definitely be considered information sharing. And bags haven't been free on the east coast for years now, the Midwest is lagging.

Helpful Thank you

“I had the Urge to go Blah Blah Blah” every 5 seconds…. Had me dying 🤣.

May I add to your list: we have a muchhhhhh better internet Speed. Also, as u experienced, products date when do expired are day/month/year. In US is month/day.

You look Romanian. Feel like at home! 🇷🇴💙

Shopping bags, at least after that first shopping trip you had bags enough for a few days 😋😆 Thanks for the story, I am european, want to move to RO but never dared only visit sometimes, so good on you for taking an even bigger leap!

I enjoyed this video. I am also considering between Romania and Czech Republic. My plan is to relocate next year.

I am so glad you brought the comment about gypsy. I don't understand why they take it to a higher level. This is a topic that my husband and I are constantly talking about. We're currently in Florida USA. We're moving to Romania in the very near future. Thanks for the tips on the grocery bags. I have some that are thermal and was debating if I should pack them or not. 😉

Since 2014 in California you also have to buy or bring bags to the grocery stores.

Plastic bags at supermarkets used to be free but the government forced the stores to ask money for them in order to reduce plastic waste.

You have to pay for the grocery bag because it's supposed to encourage an eco friendly attitude. Bags used to be free, but the policy obviously worked and people bring their own textile bags.

The grocery bag thing is becoming more common in the States. Its been like that in Oregon for years already.

No. 5 goes hand in hand with no. 6. When no. 6 is up no. 5 goes down.

❤

Amen 🙏🏾

Thank you all for the informative video! My wife and I are volunteer teachers in Lviv. We had considered exploring Europe before heading back to Oregon to see our grandchildren. Your videos are very helpful in our journey. Thank you!! We are now considering extending our stay in Europe by a month in Krakow and a month in Romania. My wife has MS, so, a country with highly qualified neurologists is desired. What is your opinion about healthcare for senior travelers in Romania? Thank you. Dean

Gonvermnet "burocracy is a little slow" is a bit of an understatement, and this is coming from a Romanian native.

2:36 we're not in Kansas anymore 😂

You Girl!! You really confronted the Romani issue there. You're so brave 😮

❤❤

I love Romania

You should use 2-3 hastags on your videos to reach more people.

👍👍👍

do you need to apply for a visa before moving to romania?

Just came across your channel and so I didn't get the fully story. What made you guys move to Romania?

I'm from MO! In Italy now but thinking of moving to Romania for a few months. What's the best way to find rentals in Cluj or Sibiu? I didn't find many good FB groups.

I’m thinking of moving to Romania from the UK, does anyone have any experience or advice?

How do we purchase medical insurance there as Americans?

Moved families for NAVL for 25 years. In a living room a family had those plugs/cut ends off and put bare wires in wall. DANGER DANGER ! ! north american van lines

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Did I hear you right? Kansas City? Which part?

#10 Made me lol.

Do you live safe there?

About this Blitz real estate agency, how was your experience? I just wrote them.

Btw, If today you go to buy groceries or your coffee, and the romanian employee which doesnt know you are american, says to you "Hristos A Înviat! ". Dont worry. You did nothing wrong. Its a religious quote used in Easter, which translated means " Jesus Christ has Resurected!". And normaly you should answer back "Adevărat a Înviat" in Romanian,but TODAY its too much for You. Maybe next year. :) And it translate into " Truly, he did!" :)

well move to romania in less that a yr cause my bf is romanian, any tips for finding a job etc bc i dont speak any romanian

Welcome to real world

yep the bureaucracy in Romania is ridiculous

😢😢

What?

I am planing to move on to romanian I am from India 🇮🇳

Repeat after me: I wish I had known.

I want to know one thing,why do You not made a vlog from.Oradea within all the time You spent in that ugly Timisoara.?

you should ask a neighbour for a charger

OHH MY .. so you live in Romania now... dont have time now to see this all but will soon ... i know romania very well - i mean i didnt have any cultural shock - being italian- but still there is an element of difference - in the attitude of people and the mental structure - totally different from italians

I don't understand. Why 10 things?

Pretty blue eyes.

Yup ,the imigration tooo slow even is the date to take the visa they Said not yet ready frm a month later,2 weeks later a weeks later and again until i had enaugh and lil argue they Find it my id so acually my id is ready frm 2 month ago but they just lazy tO look

In US ,, the apartament CAME with....,, versus in Romania the apartaments are being rent with.... / LMAO

When you start from nothing, you can learn a lot.

May I commment to your top 10 list. 1. Rarely the rent apartments comes without furniture. 2. In Romania 's specialized electronic stores such as Altex, Media Galaxy or Flanco u can find US type chargers. 3. Most of Romania cities lookingw better than american ones. 4. You feel safe? In Europa its called GUN CONTROL! 5. ROMANIA is a latin country. So, other latin countries such as Italia, Spain, Portugal, France, their citizens tend to be much more open to foreign people. While slavic countries and anglo-saxon tend to be more distant. 6. The term gipsy is corect. There is no Roma ethnic group. They are nomadic people , which came from Asia. Also, they can be also found in Slovakia, Hungary, Balkan countries. 7 We are sarcastic people . Highly ironic . Me included:)) 8 too many public employees. So, u did get your visa? 9 . Why a store should give free bags? :) 10. Are we ? :) Dracula story brings economic benefits to România!

I am not Romanian , but found them to be friendliest most helpful people in Europe. Funny how you skipped over Gypsies.l

I wish I was a baller… à little bit taller! 🤣🤣🤣

the most important thing to know is that Romania is not run by Romanians.. its run by the curly side hair people.. aka israelis.

I'm so surprised about you Americans who are lied to all your life , about being the greatest and the safest country in the world and best in everything, then when and if you go out of the metrix of your own country then you realize that they are such liars. For example, safety wise Romania is on 34 th place ( in my opinion is why less , I been on 28 country in trust me coz I know what I am saying) and America is on 88 th place , or internet in our country (which in America we are considered 3 th world country by your government) is very, very fast and also absolutely cheaper than American, and many, many more things.... I hope you don't get mad about my observations. I lived for 20 years in US and trust me, I know what I'm talking about and I know the opinion of Americans about other countries. Sorry about the mistakes I might make on righting in English, the English I know I learned on my own without a teacher,so.🙂

Fully furnished accommodation???...oh hell yah!

There is nothing little about United States

Sierra Marie, I would give you some Romanian sarcasm but since you- as an American would not get it, i would get mad and throw my glass eye at you. Also, did you know that Jesus had a recurring nightmare about framing nailers?

Well, wrong ! Only if you have plenty of money the apartment is furnished. No different plugs:220V plugs as everywhere in Europe (not uk as they are not longer part of the EU). For the sarcasm you met the wrong people: romanians are sarcastic and joke lovers. Wrong with dracula: it is the fiction of bram stoker, an irish. No dracula culture here: maybe some vendors are doing this for tourists. So mainly you are wrong: learn the culture and then post something better. Tnx for sharing.

Oh, really? You moved to a white, christian conservative country and were surprised by their kindness and level of safety?

Sure the guvernments are slow but in Transylvania they do things a lot slower than the usual :))

Huh? What immigration office did you go to? Because when I had to go there, they just herded us like sheep out in the street :) huge part of the reason why I want to leave

Toate distrusele și nebagat-le în seamă își dau cu părerea! Băi in ce lume traim! Nu-ți place ceva, schimbi , nu-ți place unde te afli, pleci dreaqu'! Atît de simplu!

I had the same problem in NY with phone and laptop chargers, the other way around :))) Anyway, the sockets in America seem ridiculous to me...and especially the light switches:))) as for bags in shops .. my dear, the European norm. until recently, they were free in Europe as well. anyway, it shocks me that in America you arrive home with 50 bags containing 4 products:)) total waste! bureaucracy is killing Romania, honestly! security.. yes it exists, don't forget that we were still a communist country and that kind of followed you to the toilet. It seems that this is a great asset for Romania .. although I didn't feel attacked in NY .. maybe a little worried on the street .. but it's a country with many ethnicities, many different people and you don't really know what to expect . Yes, the malls are a bit pathetic in America. In NY, alas, they are so primitive, through disused factories, dirty. I don't know.. I really didn't like this aspect. On the other hand, outside of NY, they are something else. they have an air of vacation, not massive, not imposing but very attractive. People... hmm, that's because you're American... The Gypsies.. yes, they are a problem and because after the Romanian revolution they were allowed to call themselves Roma.. THERE IS GREAT CONFUSION WITH THE ROMANIANS. GYPSIES ARE MAXIMUM 3% OF THE POPULATION IN RO. they are everywhere in Europe .. only here they are called Roma .. Another "European" story UGLY! I didn't understand the story with the sarcasm.yes, Romanians are too conceited. I ALSO have these problems, keep calm
