Hi, I’m originally from Vințu de Jos, just 10 km from the cabin, and I now live in Sibiu. I’m 33 years old and deeply passionate about travel, after exploring over 40 countries, I decided to turn that love into something lasting: hosting others and creating memorable stays. What began as a personal journey is now a family project. My parents, now approaching retirement, are incredibly social and love meeting people, they’ve embraced hosting with open arms. Together, we’ve found a perfect balance: blending our travel experiences with warm Transylvanian hospitality. For us, this isn’t just a business, it’s about sharing a space we care deeply about and offering the kind of welcoming experience we’d want to find when we travel.
