The mission: Your story in Brasov

Traveler, come walk with me through Brasov's streets, where stone remembers whispers and wood remembers prayers. I am the Wandering Witch, born in the Schei quarter, where Romanians kept faith outside the walls that kept them out. An old woman taught me the herbs before the city taught me fear, and both lessons lasted. Together we'll follow the path of charms, sermons, and accusations. Listen as we walk. Each corner holds a question, and the city's answers will find their way to you.
