As part of our Romania Appreciation Weeks campaign, we’re inviting our readers to share their stories with us and tell the world what Romania means to them. Brian Williams, an American photographer who has visited Romania, has decided to join our campaign and fill in the interview here. Here’s what he loves about Romania (and more):

After visiting Romania six times in the last 15 years, Brian Williams no longer feels like a tourist in the country. "I'm proud to think of myself as almost a Romanian myself thanks to my knowledge of the country, the wonderful experiences I've had there, and of course, the many friends I've made over the years," he says. he loves the country's unspoiled countryside, the friendly people, and the climate, as well as the local food. What would make him think twice about settling in the country are the poor health care system and corruption.
