Romanian Family's Thriving Smallholding in Romania
•
Alexandra Stamate and her husband Florin, a Romanian family in Bristol, found solace in Romanias rural life after hitting rock bottom in the UK. They transformed a rundown farmhouse into a self-sufficient smallholding, enjoying fresh milk, homegrown veggies, and a safer environment. Romanias economic boom, with average wages surging over seven hundred percent in the last decade, has drawn many Romanians back home, seeking simplicity, security, and freedom. Entrepreneurs like Bogdan Termure are also thriving, with the Bucharest government actively promoting return through incentives. This reverse migration signifies Romanias rapid progress and offers a brighter tomorrow for families betting on their roots.
