Description

Hi!


We are Raluca and Dorin, two travelers at the beginning of our journey. For 8 months, we worked on converting a van into a motorhome—a challenging but incredibly rewarding project.

We lived in Romania's capital, Bucharest, for 10-15 years, but after getting married, we decided to dedicate a few years to traveling and living in our campervan, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

We are lovers of a simple life. We enjoy spending time in nature, hiking, cycling, and kayaking. Recently, I (Raluca) started working with plants, learning more about herbalism, and making creams from natural ingredients. I also love baking sourdough bread, and we both enjoy cooking outdoors.

Both of us have been actively involved in volunteer projects. I (Raluca) started volunteering in 2008 during my school years, joining a youth organization in Romania. This experience helped me develop skills in leadership, coordination, facilitation, and training teenagers. Dorin has also contributed to various initiatives, including renovation projects, organizing sports competitions, compost and engaging in social work.

Through our vanlife journey, we aim to meet people that inspire us, learn from them, help them, and connect more deeply with nature. We hope to learn as much as possible about gardening, permaculture, local cuisine, eco-friendly building, plants, social education, social tourism, woodworking, and other local crafts.

We like to think of ourselves as people full of life, hardworking, perseverant, willing to see the good around us. We’re excited to meet new people and can’t wait to connect with them through this platform.
