What is your reflection with Romania? One of my cousins met a Taiwanese lady in the beach cities of Romania, including at a hotel, and the Taiwanese lady told my cousin she loves visiting the country. A very exotic nation to her.

I don't really think of Romania, but it seems like quite a beautiful country.

I don't mind people knowing my Facebook name on CD World Forum.  Or me and my Sister Sibling's family drama in Romania.   Makes the posts even more entertaining when every poster describes their personal lives.
Yeah, the Taiwanese lady visiting Romania and talking to one of my cousins at a hotel she works in expressed how much she loves travel in Romania, and the ultra exotic experience.   (I bet even more exotic for her than with me). lol
You have to visit Romania one day, Greysholic.
Have you talked to The Postman recently, or posting on his Facebook World Forum Geography GeoGeeks?

You are all right on involving those practical details on the temporary move while finishing part time work on the farm.
First, I have to get my Driver's License. I don't have one yet because I lived in NYC a majority of my life, other than Seattle. I might have to drive a Tractor on the Wheat fields. Second, I have to obtain a valid Work Permit to legally work on the farm. Third, I have to update or make a modification to my Romanian EU citizenship, including with the passport, I already qualify.
Going to Romania more than one month without a doubt is highly valuable and rich on memory, and experience.

You are lucky to have that chance. Not many can say that. Good thing you're going for it

I won't ever regret my time in Romania, including with the farm. My commute is originating between Constanta to near Viisoara-Cobadin-Vama Veche 40 minute commute. My main residency will be in Constanta the main city, not on the actual farm village I commute to.
My adventure won't be too rural, and I won't lose contact with my urban living. Constanta has enough urban amenities around, and does't have too much isolation. Outside of my paid work on the farm, there is tons of favorite neighborhoods, cities, towns, villages, architecture areas, Cafes(Including Wifi), Nightclub Discotheques, Bars, Restaurants, Resort Zones, Beaches, and Independent Stores around, and easily accessible to my everyday life.
This area is not rural Moldova, Satmar-Maramures-Bucovina, or Oltenia by any stretch of the imagination.

Yeah, taking advantage of the resourceful opportunity is a rational imperative. Yet very adventurous, and unconventional pleasantly risky endeavor.
I am going to record my living in Romania novel story when I am there.
I have very mixed luck. Travel, and Wealth is on my luckier side of the coin.

An adventure it will be, I'm sure. You've been there many times before already, but actually living there for a long time, coming from a place like NYC, would be a dramatic change I bet.
A novel story would actually be nice to make I believe. I've read many stories and blogs from people that moved away to other countries. It's always very interesting to read. Especially when the differences between de former and the new country are that big.

When reflecting on every country of Europe I have visited, Romania is much more wonderfully alien by far than any of them, with the sole exception of Bulgaria. Even though I prefer Romania when Bulgaria is in the same breathe of focus. Any country of Europe is a very pleasant welcoming invigorating wow opener cultural shock traveling between North America to all over Europe.
I have equal preference on each of my favorite European countries: France, Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland, Slovakia, Belgium, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Ireland, Finland, Latvia and Croatia respective to North America: USA, Canada, including the first 5 to 9 countries of reference by themselves.
Romania is a very dreamy, exotic, and mystical country. Beach cities, towns, and villages of Dobrogea feel urban enough to me, even though I am originally from NYC at first, then Seattle West Coast and I prefer an urban lifestyle. Not too rural or suburban. There is more than enough favorite architecture zones, favorite neighborhoods, Independent Business Stores(a lack of chain stores there), Cafes, Nightclubs, Bars, Restaurants, Festivals, Celebrations, Music Concerts, and Public Transportation around Constanta/Mamaia, Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, Costinesti, Mangalia/Olimp/Neptun, and Vama Veche.
Yeah, there is always making a travel blog, and CD World Forum to record every main event, and memory.
Adventure is a main definition of life. Taking the opportunity without any hesitation seems inevitable and a rational imperative of the future.

Don't know why you opened this thread, as it sounds like you are already totally convinced, and had a chip implanted by the Romanian Tourist Board.
I have been to NYC and Romania (one much more than the other) and from my perspective it will be like moving from the first world to the third. The incomes of which you speak must go a long way in Romania.

Do it, you have nothing to lose and will always regret it if you don't go. I did it in the early 80s and I'm not even Romanian but I had a great time there. Romania is a beautiful country with great people.
