A Balloon is a very funny thing… such a simple, spell bounding, universal symbol of happiness, and joy.

"I found a love in me. I always somehow knew that it existed,

it just needed to be set free...

Bon Voyage."

"Here the rocks talk and the forest whispers.

Here the stones think and streams sing.

The flowers are singers and their words are calling you."

Sky-Lee: Brasov, Transylvania, Romania; I arrived in Romania on March 1st 2010 to complete a two month journalism placement through an amazing volunteer organization 'Projects Abroad'. I live in the historic city center of Brasov, located in the northern Transylvania region of Romania. The city sits at the foot hills of the majestic Carpathian mountains, amidst snow-capped ranges, and enchanting, mysterious verdant pine forests. I quest to experience the bucolic romanticism Romania is famed for by working for a local magazine called "Satul"/"The Village". The magazine celebrates and holds vast to the warm heart of Romania, it's balkan culture and age old traditions.
