Contact

My personal Facebook page is here.

If you want to add me as a friend on FB, feel free to do so! I always auto-accept anyone with a Romanian name, so if you love Romania but your family name doesn’t end in -escu or -eanu, just send me a quick comment with the friend add request so I know you’re not a spam bot.

If you want to “like” this website’s Facebook page, click here.

Note: I log onto Facebook about once a week (or even more rarely), so if you want any kind of timely response, please use email!

Email

The easiest way to reach me is via email at samcelroman@gmail.com.

I respond to all emails within about 24 hours (maybe more on the weekend), so if you really want to reach me, EMAIL IS BEST.

Twitter

My Twitter ID is: lifeinromania

I love Twitter, and I probably always will. I’m happy to have followers on Twitter, but please keep in mind that I rarely respond to RTs, DMs, and messages. It isn’t about you – I’d just get nothing else done in a day if I turned on notifications.

If you’re interested in my latest thoughts or “hot takes” on the news, however, you can either follow me on Twitter, read the feed at the bottom of each page (here on the blog), or use the link to read my stuff directly on the web.

Tumblr

Yes, I have a Tumblr page, but I barely know how to access it or respond to messages. If you’re trying to reach me on Tumblr, be prepared to wait a year or two!

Instagram

My personal Instagram account is here.

Instagram can be fun, and I’d be happy to have you “follow” me there, but please don’t expect a response to messages. My tablet is incredibly old and slow, and it makes everything very painful. I can barely get it to post photos much less respond to comments and messages and all the rest.

Google Plus

Yes, I have a Google+ page, but I don’t know how to access or use it. Sorry!

  1. heya! Twas a pleasure reading the 37 steps you had to take to learn Romanian.
    I showed it to a British friend of mine who wants to move to Bucharest and also wants to learn the language (btw, she has an almost native way of saying Ce? …haha. and her name is also Sam…small Romania-loving world, eh?)
    I also work for an online radio and was wondering if you consider letting me interview you next time you happen to travel to Bucharest.
    I believe my email address will appear in your comment admin thingie…So feel free to write back there.

    Take care and Long like the King!:)))

  3. so let me get this straight: you are a foreigner (expat) living in Romania and you really fitted in?….man good for you….i have a lot of foreign friends and their adaptability to romanian lifestyle is comparable to the Chinese adaptability to western lifestyle…they experience a huge cultural shock….

  6. Hi Sam,

    I really like your blog, you’re doing a great job here. The insight to Romanian from a foreigner point of view is so much different from how we, Romanians, perceive it.
    Are you interested in a collaboration with the Magazine http://www.learn-romanian-magazine.net? I am preparing the second issue of the magazine, please contact me if interested.

    Regards,
    Florin.

  7. So I was reading your blog and thinking “it’s really funny”, plus I like the writing style (and by that I am not referring to the font) until I got to a post where it all clicked and it made me understand why I am enjoying it all so much: You don’t like that Zoso geek either!

  8. I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of days now and I must say I really like it. For me as a Romanian is very interesting to see a foreigner’s genuine point of view about Romania. I have many friends that are foreigners but when it comes to their opinion about this country they become a little defensive. Anyway great blog.

  9. awesome blog. Romanians don’t have that sense of detail that probably Americans do. We simply can’t write a nice story. It’s good to see a foreigner’s point of view about your own people. I spent my whole day reading your posts at work and noticed that we don’t know how to make things interesting for possible visiting people around the world. You’re a “one in a million” type of guy who…happened to have the pacience to discover, and eventualy like Romania. Reading your writings made me have a better opinion about my country. I wanted to thank you. :)

    Toate bune!

  10. To Most Romanian of All,

    I’m an American trying to search back my family roots to Romania. Are there any Romanian genealogy sources that you recommend? By the way, I enjoyed your Mamaliga post & FAQ.

    Thanks be to the highest of Romanian-isms! Vă mulţumim pentru ajutorul dvs! (I hope that translates well)

    1. I’ve never done geneological research here but I found a few links here as well as here, which should get you started. I remember reading somewhere that records older than about 1890 are usually only found at the “state” (judet) archives but usually anything more recent than that should be online somewhere, especially if you cross-check with immigration records in the United States. The Mormons are the best place for any geneological records of people once they’ve gotten to the United States (if that’s where you are). Good luck!
