Hello, everyone!

This has been a tough year for all of us and we should give ourselves a hi5 and a hug for making it through to this point.

We miss guiding and taking people on tours and showing them the beauty and peculiarities of Romania. Better days will come!

Roaring Romania remains closed to tours until March 2021. On March 14th it will be the 7 year anniversary of Roaring Romania and we plan the reopening for then.

This doesn’t mean we go into hibernation. On the contrary! We will continue to share photos, travel ideas and stories about Bucharest and Romania. Thank you for keeping virtually close and please take care of your health! Hope to see you soon! - Alexandra Chirila

When the guide can’t go to Peles Castle, Peles Castle comes to the guide.

Starting 12:00 today Romania is in total lock-down, which means that people need to stay inside unless they go grocery shopping, to the pharmacy, doctor or solitary physical activity like walking their dog. People over 65 are not allowed to go outside with many NGOs and volunteers ready to step in with grocery shopping and other errands. A strict measure but necessary to keep in check the spread of Coronavirus and not overwhelm the Romanian medical system.

Thank you to the doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, first responders, policemen, delivery workers, scientists and volunteers who keep the world moving while we keep to our houses. You are the heroes of our days!

'Here's to roaring women: may we know them, may we be them, may we raise them!'
Happy International Women's Day!

Story of these photos:

The photo was taken by Alexandra Chirila on a tour in July 2019. The group was going over the Prislop Pass from Maramures to Bucovina. The first villages to welcome you in Bucovina have these amazing, embellished houses and I always stop with my group for photos. This time around while we were looking at the pretty houses, trying to decide which one we liked best, the lady of the house stopped her bike next to us and invited us in to better look at her beautiful house. She was so proud of it!
My group noticed that her hands were dark blue and were very curious about it. 'I just came from the forest, I went to pick blueberries to make some jam. Just wait a second!' She rushed in the house and came out with a small bucket of blueberries and fed us until our hands and lips were as blue as hers. Needless to say, it was the favorite moment of the group out of a 10 day vacation through Romania.

Spring, be welcome! The day of the Mărțișor is finally here!

Mărțișor is an old tradition celebrated all over Romania every year, on March 1st. The name Mărțișor could be considered diminutive of March (Martie in Romanian) and it's part of the string of pre- Christian celebrations to welcome spring - the season of rebirth.

And seapking of string, it is believed that the person who wears a red and white string enjoys a prosperous and healthy year.

For good luck and good weather, you need to wear the string from March 1st until the first trees bloom. When the first trees are in bloom, you must knot the Mărțișor to the tree branches. En voila! An exquisite year awaits!
