NYT - Travel Romania

Just have a look on the NYT travel website and you realize that there's not much about Romania. Less than 20 articles in 20 years. Hm.. Maybe we should help them with more tips & tricks about travel in Romania

ILoveYouRomania wants you!

I was just looking on the recent statistics concerning the traffic we receive. It's amazing how we still receive the "more or less" same amount of traffic as 6months ago considering that the last post was available on the website 3months ago. We have to do something. We can not disapoint people who come back to the site and expect something new..

That's why we need to extend.. So it's public anouncement. We are looking for contributors!

We want you to help us show Romania the way you see it when travelling.. Rolling hills of Bucovina, unique Danube Delta or whatever place you prefer for your weekend trips/holidays.
