Celebrating Christmas in Brasov, Romania Image© Exploramum And for New Year, we chose a tiny town with a medieval resort where we shared one of the best banquets I’ve ever encountered. To finish it off, we ventured out for a horse and sleigh ride on New Years Day. We enjoyed a white Christmas and loved the town Christmas markets with their local produce. Friendly and helpful as though time stood still. As the snow softly fell, and it was a blanket of white. We loved the people. Nothing was full, so prices were low. I loved the serenity.
We were able to pull over for bathroom breaks, lunch when we needed, and pop in and out of towns and decided where we wanted to stay for the night.

Not when she is driving on the other side of the road, and certainly not when it is snowing! We, however, decided to take a journey through Romania in the heart of winter. And I loved every minute of it! Call me crazy, but you don’t find the average Australian single mother taking her 9-year-old son on an adventure through the heart of Romania. Most people take a road trip when the sun is shining, and the weather is fine. Road Tripping Romania in the winter Recommended by Ruth from Exploramum
