Beatrice grew up in Romania in the 1980’s when the (then) Communist country was under the thumb of one of the most oppressive governments in ghe world. It was, to put it mildly, quite a “jungle”.
When people think of the Romanian area of the Balkans, Transylvannia and Dracula spring to mind and also Nicolae Ceaucescu (the notorious Communist Dictator, overthrown in a violent revolution in 1989).
The last 20 years have seen the country gain acceptance to the European Union and the people are experiencing new freedoms.
Beatrice, it seems, likes the “jungle”.
She recently returned from an extended astay in East Africa where she learned to love the wilds oof the Masai Mara, you might say she has been bitten by the “safari bug”.
So she stopped off at our hostel in Toronto on her way to the Carribean and Central America where she will look for training for a job as a “wilderness guide”.
Her first stop will be Trinindad and Tobago where she has learned there are Rain Forest excursions off the beaten paths taken by most touriists.
Who knows? Maybe this attractive young lady will find her “Tarzan”.
