19 years ago I fell in love with Romania's nature. Since then my life gravitated around the Carpathian Mountains, exploring them through active sports: climbing, running, cycling or skiing. For 7 years now I have also been a guide, so join me on a tour!

I like: mountain sports, spirituality , reading, woodworking, observing nature and local life.

I speak: english, romanian

This was an amazing day with Alex, we climbed the mountain to admire the beautiful scenery and enjoy a simple but very enjoyable picnic lunch that Alex had prepared for us including homemade relish from his mother. Alex was a well mannered gentleman who made our journey a memorable day. We would recommend this tour to anyone who had a good level of fitness and agility.

We loved everything about this tour! After a two hour ascent we reached the top of the mountain with a breathtaking view over the Carpathians and the village. The path can become quite steep and challenging at certain spots, so make sure to bring appropriate shoes with you. Our guide Iancu was very friendly and had a huge knowledge about Romania and everything we asked him. The trip was easily booked through Romanian Friend, perfectly organised and we felt comfortable throughout the whole day. After descending back to the starting point we enjoyed a well deverved beer with some delicious dessert from the local village with our guide, which was a great finish before driving back to Cluj. Thanks!
