My Romania Story - Adam Langweiler (US): Romania is an important part of my life both personally and professionally

We're inviting our readers to share their stories and tell the world what Romania means to them. Adam Langweiler, an American with a strong personal and professional connection to Romania, has decided to join our campaign and fill in the questionnaire here. Below is his Romanian story.

Adam Langweiler, 58, is an American who has been living in Amsterdam for a big part of his life. But he also has a strong connection to Romania, the country he first discovered 15 years ago when a Romanian friend took him here for a visit. As a chiropractor, Adam also used this opportunity to see how this profession developed in Romania.

He later met his wife in Romania, and now they have family here. In addition, he is also coming to Romania to use his medical skills, as he sees patients at a clinic in Bucharest every month.

Romania "is an important part of my life both personally and professionally," Adam Langweiler told Romania-insider.com.

Adam says the Romanians are very kind, the food and the wine are delicious, and the nature is impressive. On the other hand, he finds driving in Bucharest to be a pretty scary experience, and he would like to see people smiling more.

What is your name, and how old are you?

Adam Langweiler, DC, 58.

What is your nationality, and where do you live now?

I am an American, but I have been living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, for the last 23 years.

What is your connection to Romania?

My connection to Romania started about 15 years ago with a very good friend of mine who is Romanian, and she took me on to see the country and see how my profession (Chiropractic) is in Romania. I saw how beautiful the country is and how hospital the people are. I also saw the need for my profession as there is almost no one performing this type of care who is really trained.

Later I met my wife, who is from Iasi, and we have family there. I bring my daughter there every year to visit them.

About 1 1/2 years ago, I was asked to come as a visiting doctor to the Enayati Medical City in Bucharest every month to treat patients. I am there ten days a month.
