    "story_excerpt": "An EU couple after several work related international moves. We’ve been living in Romania for a bit over 2 years now. Overall it’s been a positive experience, but I don’t think we’ll stay long term.\n Pluses\n - Very little migration compared to Western Europe. People are usually surprised we chose Romania and generally react positively. Even basic Romanian opens a lot of doors and there’s not really foreigner fatigue yet. People are welcoming, want to share their food and culture, at least in our case is was easy to establish friendships\n - Strong live-and-let-live mentality, which suits us well. People are relaxed, not overly rule-focused, and it’s easy to get along with neighbors and coworkers if you're polite and decent\n - Amazing country if you enjoy hiking and nature with some low cost",
