    Oh.... memories. :D I'm from Transylvania living in the US. Romania doesn't have the geographic/climate variety of the US, but it has its gorgeous places. I actually loved seeing the bears. Many Western European countries, being more densely populated, have lost a lot of their wildlife. Romania, especially its mountains, still has most of it and if I'm not mistaken, since the fall of communism is doing some great work to protect it, despite extensive logging in some places.

    I had looked in the past and they give a recommendation on allocating a certain amount for your budget. Did you go with their recommended dollar amount or did you increase your budget with them for your trip? Also thanks for the review! I've been a little on the fence about giving them a try.

      @@mkodaniels4965 I went slightly over their recommended budget and then I believe their proposal came in slightly below my number. And mine was last minute (more expensive). They were within budget both times I requested a proposal so I can tell they don’t try to oversell you.
