Born and raised in Bucharest, I majored in English in 1996 and got an MA in American Studies from the University of Bucharest.In my senior year, I earned the Soros Scholarship to study culture and civilization at the Institute of Applied Language Studies, the University of Edinburgh.It was in Scotland where I had the chance to go on a tour of the Highlands and got inspired by one of the greatest guides ever!in 1998 I signed up for a training course in cultural tourism, provided by RoCulTours/CTI in Bucharest.This is how I started guiding English-speaking tourists from the USA, the UK, CANADA and ISRAEL...In 2001 I joined the Fulbright Commission in Romania and for seven years I guided prospective students to study in the US.Again, guiding…I met my husband in Israel, got married and followed him to Brasov, the city right in the middle of Romania, probably the best city in the world…Over 15 years have passed since I was excited in front of my first tourists who were anxious to see Bucharest, Bran, Brasov, Sinaia, Transylvania, if possible to meet Dracula, to admire the painted monasteries of Bucovina, to relax in the Danube Delta, and to learn more about the country and the people …I have also travelled extensively to the USA on personal visits as well as profession-related trips, as well as some European countries / cities: Scotland (Edinburgh, Glasgow, the Highlands), Paris & the Loire Valley, Italy, Budapest, Prague, Vienna, Riga, Bulgaria, Greece, Moscow & St.Petersburg; plus Israel, ancient city of Petra, Mount Sinai, and Istanbul.This year I managed to create my professional website “Bucharest & Brasov Private Tours” and I was glad to see a couple of nice reviews from my clients… I look forward to guiding all those interested in Romanian sights! Senior citizens, as well as families with children, are most welcome.
