Hello, Steemit Community! Greetings from Romania, I am Catalin!

I just joined the community of Steemit this month after hearing about it a couple of months ago. After joining the community and read a couple of your interesting posts I think it is time to have a self-introduction for this beautiful social media platform!

I am from Ploiesti, Romania but at the moment I am studying Tourism in Wageningen, Netherlands. I was introduced to this platform by searching on an internet marketing forum by chance. I thought the idea of this platform is great because everybody can share their experiences and meet new people. I thought that the content of this platform is interesting and so I created a Steem account to give it a try.

I enjoy silence, reading, photography, basketball, online gaming and everything that has to do with nature. During the summer, I enjoy going to reggae festivals in a beautiful natural scenery with hand-made sound systems and have fun with my friends. I also enjoy barbeques at the countryside or explore new places while escaping from the warm and busy city that I live in.
Cooking is another hobby of mine and I always want to try new food from different cultures or cook for my friends. Even if our lives are busy I still believe that happiness comes from simple things like kindness and nature!

For a seak peak in my life, I decided to present you what I did last week.
I went to a special Festival in Romania named One Love Gathering held in the Romanian Mountains at Voineasa.
There were 4 handmade sound systems, very nice people and food and the landscape was overwhelming

While enjoying several conscious reggae artists we also had enough time to explore the woods, drink natural water, taste a different kind of food every day and all this was done while protecting the forest from garbage and chemicals!

The place is famous because of the abandoned hotels that are around the area that remained unfinished since our communist era. Exploring this places and finding several old items gave us a unique experience.

Moreover, we could also take pictures from this buildings:

Even if the festival took 7 days and sometimes you get bored of exploring we could chill in one of these:

This was not the first nor the last time when I attend this type of events and I am really happy that the people that are creating them are still motivated. (these events barely do any profit but they are really nice!)
After a week there I could see many benefits of taking such a vacation and camping together with your friends.
A couple of this benefits would be that it helps you clear your mind from stress and problems, the air is fresh and it can cure many diseases, the food is much more natural, you can loose some weight and get in shape and much many more.

Thank you for reading my introduction, and I appreciate the Steemit platform for providing us a place to share our experiences!
I decided to end this introduction with a picture of my tomcat Gigi!
Cheers!
