“The journey doesn't start when we hit the road, and it doesn't end when we reach the finish line.
In fact, it starts much earlier and practically never ends,
because the tape of memory keeps spinning in us ... "
~ Ryszard Kapuściński

About the trip:
Bukovina and Maramureș, two exceptional regions of Romania, entice visitors with their beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and unique monuments.
Maramureș, located in western Romania, is a region steeped in history, home to preserved traditional wooden churches and beautiful wooden gates. Maramureș is renowned for its unique architectural style, which combines sacred and folk elements, as well as for deeply rooted cultural traditions such as embroidery and folk music. The region is also home to numerous small villages where life continues according to ancient customs, and the nature remains wild and untouched by civilization. These are veritable open-air museums, still inhabited, a testament to times gone by. Women in regional headscarves stroll along sleepy country roads, and horse-drawn carts with families pass by, ready to start a new day together in the fields and meadows. The result of their labors are haystacks, a permanent fixture in the local landscape.
Bukovina, located in the northeastern part of the country, is known primarily for its unique, colorful monasteries, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region is also renowned for the hospitality of its inhabitants, who cultivate folk traditions and crafts such as weaving and woodworking. The magnificent mountain landscapes and forests of Bukovina attract tourists seeking a relaxing retreat amidst nature. Here, you'll find Polish villages where our communities found a place to live in the 19th century. They cultivate the Polish language, traditions, and customs, and a visit is a truly fascinating experience.
We invite you on a journey to one of the most interesting regions of Europe; to see what has remained unchanged, commercialized, and spoiled by mass tourism. It's a journey back in time in the best sense of the word…
