A trip to my favorite ski resort in Romania

A trip to Straja with my friends from dancing turned into an unforgettable adventure. It wasn’t just about the slopes and snow; it was about trying new things, pushing myself, and soaking in the beauty of the mountains.

For the first time, I tried snowboarding, and let’s just say, I spent a lot of time on the snow! But despite the falls and the learning curve, there was something so exciting about mastering the basics and gliding down the mountain. The thrill of snowboarding in such a stunning setting made it all worth it.

But what really took my breath away was the moment I decided to climb the mountains at sunrise, just to photograph the incredible scenery. The world was quiet, with only the sound of my footsteps in the fresh snow, and the mountains were bathed in that soft, golden light. It was pure magic. I couldn’t resist capturing the peaceful beauty of the moment with my camera, and those photos are now some of my favorites.

Straja wasn’t just a trip; it was a mix of laughter, adventure, and moments of serene beauty that left me feeling inspired and grateful for both the new experiences and the friends I got to share them with.
