One of the best parts of the EVS is the fact that we have the opportunity to discover the surroundings and the country we are leaving in. Being a person that has lived her entire life close to the sea (pretty much everyone in Portugal does), it was one of the things I missed the most since I moved in Timisoara.
The summers here are pretty hot, and not having the beach is super strange for me. So, for one week, I decided to head to Vama Veche, a small place in the coast of Romania, close to the Black Sea and, curiously, a city with my name – Constanta.
The trip from Timisoara to Vama Veche is pretty long and a bit expensive, but totally worth it. The beach is very nice and, unlike Portugal, the sea is pretty warm. Of course, once again, I’m considering the temperature of the water in my country which is pretty freezing.
Anyway, Vama Veche is a place I recommend for everyone when visiting Romania in the summer. You can camp for very cheap prices, going to the beach during the day and partying there during the night. It is full of people from all over not only Romania but also other countries and it’s the perfect place to meet different persons.
I’m glad I had the chance to go there and enjoy the sea after some months without even seeing it. 🙂
