I'm halfway through my 5th Bear Sanctuary experience as a volunteer with Oyster. 5 stars is not enough to describe how amazing this place continues to be. The flat in Brașov is the hub of your time here and is very comfortable with everything you need. The old city itself is as charming and laid back as I remember.

That first view of a bear at the sanctuary as you enter never ever gets old and is as special on the 5th occasion as it was the 1st.

I've absolutely loved being back in Romania at Libearty. Whether it's preparing food or painting fences, life is always better when there are bears watching you work!

I've saved the best for last though. The legend that is Răzvan, who will help you and guide you through your time here is incredible. His dedication to helping volunteers, not just at the sanctuary but making sure they enjoy their time in Brașov is exemplary.
