Thea Codreanu
Guiding Academy & Customer Care
My love for the outdoors and exciting activities is deeply rooted in who I am — I’m all about hiking, mountain biking, and carving through the slopes and backcountry on my snowboard. Beyond my passion for outdoor adventures, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for being a child of this Earth. I firmly believe in the transformative power of people and the power of nature conservation.
In my role managing the Guiding Academy and customer care, my focus is on ensuring that our guests not only have an unforgettable experience but also contribute to respecting and preserving the natural environment.

Ioana Toma
Hospitality Coordinator at COBOR Biodiversity Farm
Having grown up in one of Transylvania’s most stunning regions, I was thrilled to discover that tourism here is evolving with a focus on blending nature conservation and community development. That’s why I’m proud to be part of the team at Travel Carpathia. I invite you to join me at the Cobor Farm to explore our breathtaking meadows, forests, and the incredible array of wildlife and birdlife Cobor has to offer.
Catherine Cords
Manager & Guide at Equus Silvania
I studied Biology in Germany and eventually found my way to Equus Silvania, where I’ve had the chance to combine my love for horse riding and the natural world. Before coming here, I spent time as a guide in Spain, but the wild, expansive landscapes here in Transylvania offer something truly unique. What draws me to Equus Silvania is the opportunity to work closely with these incredible horses while exploring the untouched nature that surrounds us, stretching into the Carpathian Mountains. I’m looking forward to sharing this landscape with you in the most authentic way—on horseback, discovering the beauty of Transylvania together.
Cristian Laczko Stanculescu
Tourism Manager
After travelling and exploring the world for 16 years as a Tourism Manager, I found my way back home – in Brașov, Romania – and this role at Travel Carpathia fulfills my desire to be involved in eco-tourism, sustainable projects and love for the nature. I am excited to bring this side of Tourism to a higher level, together with our Team of professionals developing our products, packages and amazing locations for our guests to collect life-long memories and experiences within the majestic Carpathians.
Marius Ursaciuc
Culture and Nature Guide
I’m passionate about both culture and wildlife. When you join our trips to the villages in the Transylvanian hills, I’ll be your source of information. With a wealth of knowledge, particularly about birds, I’m always eager to share my stories and insights to ensure your excursions are anything but boring.
István Szabó
CEO Travel Carpathia
I am among the fortunate people who have built the Conservation Carpathia Foundation’s Conservation Enterprise Department brick by brick over the past few years. During this time, I have been involved in the development of ecotourism services, collaboration with local producers, and various forms of consultancy. Beyond management activities, in my daily life, I am a proud father of two children and an active participant in my family’s tourism business, working as a waiter, tour guide, or even cleaning staff.
Radu Micu
Tourism Operations Manager
I’m committed to making sure that everyone who visits us enjoys the best in comfort, amenities, and safety. I have a deep love for the mountains and spend my free time hiking, camping, and enjoying the great outdoors. I’m excited about our goal to create a National Park in the Făgăraș Mountains. Together, we can preserve the natural beauty of this region and provide unforgettable experiences for all our visitors.
Andrei Popa
Digital Marketing Specialist
When I’m not crafting marketing strategies, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains, climbing rock faces, or snapping photos of nature’s incredible beauty. My goal here is simple: to spread the word about our unique ecotourism program to those who will truly appreciate it. I’m all about keeping our communications transparent and ensuring we present honest, balanced information. After all, preserving the integrity of the people and places we promote is just as important as finding the perfect angle for that mountain sunrise photo. Let’s share the beauty of Romania with the world—one carefully crafted message at a time!
Andreea Nițulescu
Bookings & Sales Specialist
Having spent so much of my life in these beautiful places, they’ve come to feel like home, even though I wasn’t born here. There’s something special about the character and beauty of this region that I love sharing with others—it’s one of the reasons I became a travel agent. Outside of work, I’m always finding ways to be creative, whether it’s planning events or decorating spaces. Those details matter to me, and I bring that same care and attention to each trip I help plan. It’s all about creating experiences that are smooth, memorable, and tailored to what you’re looking for in a journey through this incredible area.
Adriana Ilea
Bookings & Sales Specialist
As a passionate nature enthusiast, the wild has always been my ultimate source of inspiration. I’m particularly captivated by the hidden wonders of our forests – intricate, fascinating ecosystems that truly demand our care and respect. After many years abroad, returning to Romania has deepened my appreciation for this country’s remarkable nature and rich culture. I’m thrilled to share these unique insights with you, crafting authentic journeys that will ignite your spirit and connect you with truly meaningful experiences.
Our local team
Each of our locations welcomes you with a high standard of hospitality, with a focus on our core values. This is all made possible by our teams at each location, who ensure that your experience is seamless, full of delicious meals that allow you to discover new flavours and help us to achieve our vision of ecotourism. We are all in love with the wonders of nature and want to protect the wilderness that still exists in the Carpathians.
It is a pleasure to share with you our knowledge, our sense of simple and authentic life in the heart of the mountains, by meeting you at the Cobor Biodiversity Farm, at the wildlife hideouts deep in the wild Carpathians or by showing you the tracks of wild animals while riding through the Transylvanian hills.
