The sanctuary itself is incredibly peaceful, truly one of the most enchanting places I’ve ever been

by: Bruno VandenborreProgram: Volunteer with Bears in Romania
10

From the very first day, I felt incredibly welcome. Razvan is always there when you need him, and the town of Brașov is such a special place with a wonderful atmosphere. The sanctuary itself is incredibly peaceful, truly one of the most enchanting places I’ve ever been. Traveling to Romania to work at the sanctuary is definitely worth it!

A Guide to Volunteering in Romania

Locations

Bucharest, the nation’s capital, is the sixth largest city in the European Union and the center of cultural and financial activity in Romania. The city has had a long and very interesting history, which has most recently seen it withstand two world wars and communist occupation. Today, Bucharest is a highly flourishing city with beautiful architecture, many landmarks and museums, and a rejuvenated drive for economic development. Bucharest is by far the largest city in Romania, and indeed on of the most important hubs of activity in all of Eastern Europe, so those who are interested in volunteering in Romania will find plenty of opportunities in the nation’s capital. 

The medieval city of Brasov is another popular location for volunteering in Romania. Centered in the infamous province of Transylvania, Brasov features a very well preserved historical center and is located near many attractions throughout the countryside.

Other potential cities where you may find volunteer work in Romania include Cluj-Napoca, Oradea, and Sinaia. Sweeping gothic architecture and medieval castles make these smaller cities truly rapturing sights to behold.
