Overview

Welcome — Romania is a soulful, affordable, and surprisingly modern base for Canadian digital nomads who want a slower, softer rhythm while staying connected to work. Think fast fiber internet, charming medieval towns, dramatic mountains and Black Sea coasts, a growing international community, and cities where cafés, coworking and cultural life are easy to access. For Black women building a “soft life abroad,” Romania can offer cozy neighborhoods, spa weekends in the Carpathians, accessible beauty resources in major cities, and intimate expat communities that make daily life feel gentle and supported.

Quick practical points:

  • Currency: Romanian leu (RON). ATMs and card acceptance are widespread in cities.
  • Language: Romanian is the official language; many younger people speak English, especially in Bucharest, Cluj, Timișoara and tourist centers.
  • Emergency number: 112.
  • Internet: Romania is known for excellent fixed broadband and strong mobile data in urban areas.
