Our little village in Northern Transylvania is called Breb, it's 600 meters up in the Carpathian Mountains and it's very different. It looks just like a village in one of Dracula's films. The valley were the castle is in the book Dracula is a few hours drive by car. Most people have a horse and cart in the village and everyone wears traditional cloths on a sunday and most of the older folk still wear every day what their ancestors wore and look fresh out of a fairy tale.

We have over 100 hectares of land in Maramures now with around 25 in the village of Breb. We are building our home in the summer of 2009 and will be slowly building one or two villa's in the village to rent in the same way as we do in Siwa Egypt. The plan is to be up and running by 2011 and then kick back and let the world drift by a bit.

I will ad some pictures of our lands here soon, but may wait until I update the whole of www.somewheredifferent.com to accommodate our Romanian offering.
