Projects Abroad: Romania

Projects Abroad Romania is a life-changing experience, and it can't help but be with all the different kinds of people you meet, places you visit, and exploring there is to be done. The staff is incredible-they are always available if you need them and have lots of ideas and enthusiasm to help you with your area of volunteering. When I went I did the journalism internship and was able to accompany the writer & photographer of "Satul" a Romanian national magazine to many villages I otherwise wouldn't have been able to get to. The host families they pair you up with are great, usually a little more hands off. (Which can be nice). The program does a great job of tailoring the experience to what you, personally, are looking for. If you want your time fully structured they are equipped to do so, if you want time to explore some on your own-many P.A. volunteers travel together on weekends. Moreover, Brasov is a lovely medieval city surrounded by mountains and, according to Romanians, the best place to live.
