  Algo mais...

  Most of our team likes to spend time outside, travelling to the seaside which is 45 minutes away by car or to Danube Delta area which 2 hours away by car.
  There are multiple train options to reach the capital city Bucharest only 1h 40 min away by train or Constanta city which 1 hour away. You can also find a direct shuttle bus to the airport from the town of Cernavoda (2 hours directly to the departures gate).
  
  Bucharest is a city for everyone, we like to call it like that, as you can find your ways around since there are plenty of options and you can have a city break easily during the weekend.
  Seaside is very friendly, with many beaches for all the different tastes either if you for quite or party.
  
  There are wine tasting sessions around the vineyards, music festivals at the seaside or in Bucharest. It depends on each one, but boredom is not a thing you will meet here.
  
  In the days not friendly to stay outside because of the weather, we like to meet for dinner and play boardgames together or cook together a shared dinner.
  
  We really like to keep our team close and we are a family here.
