Ultimately Deciding Whether I Am Living in Romania Next Year Or Not. Tell Me What You Think. (life, country)

[*******]

There is deep extensive connections I have in Constanta beach city of Romania. I have Romanian ethnic heritage outside of my nationality, and literally up to 33 out of 35 family members live there. Only my Mom, and sibling sister don't live there out of my immediate family.

Me and my Sister technically have an Agricultural farm land inheritance near Constanta because of our Father's death land grant, and we get $75,000 of annual income from this extremely wealthy farm. My Uncles (Father's brothers) make hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars on this vast farm network of Dobrogea. One of my uncles asked me if I want to get paid work on the farm next spring-autumn April-October 2016.

If I go there getting this paid work, I stay in a villa house not far away from the farms in Constanta, and have a flexible enough schedule, including weekend free time for my nightclubs, cafes, favorite neighborhoods, and I get to travel more easily before and after the job around Turkey, Georgia, all over Romania, and Europe to Asia.


I went to Romania the past 2 summers and fell in love with the country, having deep respect with visiting. I want to establish more identity to my ethnic heritage, and spend more time in this area of the World. Constanta is a very dreamy, and exotic underrated city, and I want to have another life on the opposite side of the World.

I am a young college student (Below 25 years old) finishing a double major in Architecture, and Computer Information Technology Website Developing Database Administration. I am graduating from a college in March. While I have enough relevant experience, I need more and curious if this paid farm work is relevant enough to Computer Tech and Architecture, or just to satisfy extra jobs on the resume. I lived in NYC, and Seattle WA USA North America up to 24 years old.

Included a poll. Am I supposed to say yes to my Uncle, and live in Constanta Romania at least half a year or maybe longer? What is your polite reflection, and thoughts on this epic novel journey with a North American moving to Romania, a realistically available emerging exotic beginning of another story.

Working in the hot Dobrujan sun during summers may not be very idyllic and simple physical work may appear boring and exhausting. Though a city boy, around age 20 I spent more than an year in a monastery, doing bassically all kind of agricultural and other kind of works and that was really idyllic, given the fact that the places were idyllic too. But it was early 90s, less pollution and agitation.

Anyway, I think you should do this for an year, as Romania has something that disappeared long ago, or never been in other countries, a combination of full of live natural environment and fascinating human culture(s) and a mythical geography, like the one of India, being separated from the rest of the world by the rugged mountain relief and the mighty Danube.

Yes. And their hookah lounges are infamous legendary with powerful inspirational herbage to be smoked.

I definitely think you should go. With no strings attached. Don't invest any money, don't give false promises, but go there to your ancestral homeland and live with the locals. Work the farm, travel around Romania, yes. It certainly will be a great experience. Go for it is my opinion.

Think which choice you will regret less. I would definitely regret not going somewhere more than going and it not working out. Do it.

Constanța is a grim commieblock city of 300 k + people (with a tiny historical center in a deplorable condition) but immediately next to it starts Mamaia, Romania's nightlife capital which has some elaborate clubs

Do you hold a Romanian passport?

[cattledog69]

I would definitely do it. From what I've seen you posting the past couple years, it's clear you have a great interest in the country and already gave it a lot of thought even before your uncle made you that offer.

I agree with Kuugulkur on the regret part. If I was standing in your shoes I'd probably regret it the rest of my life if I didn't do it. And since you're obviously already financially set, no matter what you do, there's not much to loose, is there?

I think it will be a great adventure for a guy your age and who knows what comes from this all? I could imagine in a country that is still building its self up there's a lot of opportunities for a young person with that education.

Figure out how you are going to get a work permit (if you need one), first. Your experience there, if you can get in, will tell you whether your goals are worth pursuing.
