Life after Romania. And I still really like O-Zone!

May 2004 - Sept 2005

Documenting the horrors, frustrations and bureaucracy of the adventures of life in the amazing contradiction that is Romania. Now with 10% more vampires!

: Name: Karla; Location: Canada

I came to Romania straight out of university as an intern working with intercultural education. After extending my contract twice, I realised how much I love my newly adopted country and decided to stay as long as I could. "As long as I could" turned into 361 days. I am now back in Canada, but am hoping to revive this blog to coincide with my new job.
