INFO:

What was the last time you felt truly free? The kind of freedom that only exists in childhood summers—barefoot on warm earth, racing along hidden trails where the grass kissed your ankles and the scent of wild mint lingered on your hands. In a Romanian village, those poteci were more than just pathways. They were invitations—to climb hills crowned with wildflowers, to chase dragonflies along the riverbank, to lose yourself in the green expanse where time dissolved into the rhythm of the breeze and the calls of distant roosters. Days unfolded in quiet wonder—chores woven into the heartbeat of life. Carrying milk pails from the barn, the scent of fresh hay clinging to your skin. Hushed afternoons under the walnut tree, where the leaves whispered secrets only the wind could understand. And always, the promise of those secret trails, leading past weathered wooden gates, through meadows heavy with clover and the sweet hum of bees. The village wasn’t just a place. It was a world—raw, honest, untouched by haste. Do those trails still remember the sound of small feet, the echo of carefree laughter? Or have they grown silent, reclaimed by grass and time? If you could return to those golden days, where the river ran clearer and the sky seemed endless—what path would you follow first?
