The Romanian Village of Sibiel

Sibiel, Romania – 2024. In May 2024 I worked on a volunteer project for the Fuller Center for Housing in Romania. Following the build 14 members of the build team went on a five day walking tour in central Transylvania. We spent the first three nights at the Pensiunea Cristina which is a lovely guesthouse in Sibiel which is a small Saxon Romanian village about 20km south west of the city of Sibiu.
