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. Janine Holenstein, a Swiss woman who has been living in Romania for nearly three years, has decided to join our campaign and fill in the interview here. Below is her Romanian story.
Janine Holenstein first discovered the Romanian town of Sulina in 2016 during her self-supported bicycle tour along the Danube. "This town literally spoke to me in a way that I had to come back for more in 2017!" she said. In the meantime, lots of things have changed for her back in Switzerland, and in March 2018, she decided to make Sulina her new home.
