What I love about Romania - William Cunneen (US): The country is a unique blend of hyper technology and IT startups mixed with grandma's small farm and wood-fired stoves

As part of our Romania Appreciation Weeks campaign, we're inviting our readers to share their stories and tell the world what they love about the country. William Cunneen joined our campaign and filled in this questionnaire. Below you can read more about what he loves about the country.

American chef William Cunneen has been living in Romania for five years, and has found here a mix of highly-connected, IT industry-driven spots and remote villages with horse-driven carts, sheepherders, and gardens where vegetables are harvested by hand. The landscape and the connection to the earth through its food and small communities are the things he would mention to advertise the country, which also evokes for him a feeling of peace. "There is a grounded sense of right in the world, even if it doesn't last, I know I can find it again," he says. More about what he enjoys in Romania and the advice he has for those who want to move here in the interview below.
