It is always a bit of a lottery when you join a group that you will travel with. Will you like all the others? Will they like you? Will there be conflicts? Will you like the tour leaders and guides? The fact is that I very rarely haven’t liked the group that I travel with, the tour leaders or the guides. But once in a while you are unlucky. The sad fact is that I have been most unhappy with groups that consists of only Swedish people. Some Swedish people tend to complain a lot on little things and that is really annoying when you just want to enjoy your vacation. This group consisted of only Swedish people, so of course I was a bit worried before the trip.
This trip had one advantage though - I made this trip with my friend Erika. We know each other since many years and have traveled together before. I knew that I would always have at least one person that I enjoyed to hang around.
But there was no need to worry this time. Everyone in the group was easy to talk to and enjoyed hiking (I’ve been on hiking trips with people that don’t enjoy hiking) and we had GREAT guides: Lucian and Alex. What Lucian didn’t know about the mountains and the forests in Transylvania was not worth knowing. Alex was a walking encyclopedia and could tell you everything about the history of Romania and its traditions. They were a great team. On top of that both of them were easy on the eye. Yeah - I found Romanian men to be very handsome. Please have a look below. :-)
