Strong Roots: A Ukrainian Family Story of War, Exile and Hope

01/06/2025

A beautiful review by Barbara from our latest tour to Romania.

“I have just returned from my tour with Nataliya and Tania in Transylvania and feel so happy, full of wonderful memories. Thanks to Nataliya‘s and Tania‘s extensive knowledge and connections, especially with the community in Hosman, I was able to discover an amazing and rich country. We went on a birdwatching tour, visited talented and passionate artisans, a hearty shepherd family, travelled in a horse-drawn cart through a fairytale landscape full of wildflowers, took part in impromptu cooking and singing worshops, visited a Sunday market and much more. On one hike, we even discovered a bear‘s foodprint! We were often invited to families‘ homes for dinner or tea and cake. We learnt so much about their warmth and lives and also picked up some recipes. Without Nataliya and Tania, I would never have gained so much insight into Romania. It was a awesome week that I will never forget. Romania will also remain in my heart forever. This was my second tour organised by Nataliya and I will definitely join more of her tours. I can highly recommend her.”
