Despre weekendul trecut. Ca timișoreancă, n-am simțit niciodată că orașul e atât de efervescent cm a fost weekendul trecut, I loved it! Cu siguranță în 2023, dar atunci parcă nu era doar despre noi, localnicii. Anul acesta Timișoara City Celebration mie mi s-a părut the most. Printre zecile de activități, au fost o mulțime de tururi de oraș, cu tematici diferite și ghizi faini. Eu am făcut trei: unul cu tematica baroc (Heritage of Timișoara), împreună cu colegii de la Prin Banat, unul cu un grup de turiști de la Galați, și unul absolut grozav pe Bega în cadrul Festivalului Taifas, unde m-am simțit un adevărat MC pentru seniorii din Timișoara. Asociația Contrasens a avut o inițiativa grozavă îndreptată către seniorii noștri, o plimbare de 3h pe Bega, cu Pelicanul până la ecluza de la Sânmihai. Cu muzică, prăjituri de demult și povești despre gastronomia Banatului depanate de fata cu umbrela roșie cu participarea tuturor doamnelor de la bord. Am vorbit despre meșpaisuri, despre rețetarul bănățenesc și cel pătruns din Vdchiul Regat după 1919, despre fabrica de gheață și despre cofetăriile faimoase în perioada interbelică. Vă las să vă delectați cu poze, pe mine ma așteaptă niște gomboți cu prune 🤭

Swamp city reloaded. This time we sailed the new kid on the Bega, the Saga 1948 . An intimate atmosphere in the company of artists and architects, all around Banat lovers. Sail our little canal to enjoy a beautiful sunset, good music and stories of the olden days of Timisoara, as well as a delicious dinner or wine tasting for yourself and your guests.

Over the years I've made it a habit to be away on my birthday. Last year, though, was quite special. My first time in the US, and after I visited New York with all its migration/ genealogy related sites, I flew across the country to Arizona. I had some of my oldest friends from Romania with me, but I was so so lucky to have new ones celebrate my birthday in the comfort of their own home. Surrounded by love and American food 😁 The picture shows Dorrene and I holding a book about the village of Ilidia (aka Little America), that I brought over to the States for the Romanian Genealogy Society. And my surprise birthday balloon. Thank you, Dorrene for your warm welcome and generosity. You made my day. Looking forward to having you and the other lovely ladies from the RGS back in the Old Country ❤️❤️❤️

As promised, a glimpse into the Heimattage der Banater Schwaben 2025 in Temeswar, the traditional festive reunion of the Banater Swabians. You will, undoubtedly, recognise some of the places we toured together (or that we will hopefully see during your future visits to the Old Country), as well as some of the names on the village banners. It was one hell of a weekend, the city came alive with music and color, and so much joy and emotion. See the first comment for the second video:

On June 13, 14 and 15, Timișoara will once again host the Cultural Days of the Banater Swabians - Heimattage, an event dedicated to the tradition, history and culture of the Banater Swabians.
Three days to enjoy traditional music, dances, a parade of German folk costumes, exhibitions, literature – and to rediscover the over 300-year history of the Swabian community and the important role it has had in the development of the Banat.
An opportunity to celebrate the diversity that defines our city. Also, an event to keep in mind for the following years when planning your visit to the Old Country.

Prepping for my upcoming genealogy tour of Mehala / Franzstadt: once a part of Timisoara, both in the middle ages and in the 18 century, the old Otoman "mahala" (neighborhood) became a part of the big city again in 1910. This brought about benefits and changes both for the city and the village people (electricity, pavement, new infrastructure, jobs, transportation), to the extent that nowadays you can't actually tell where the city ends and where Mehala begins. However, its main square still preserves the multi- and intercultural spirit of yore (there are 3 churches of 3 different denominations), while the place itself is almost like traveling into the 19th century rural Banat....so, so charming.

Tech Talks 2025 - the most important conference organized by a Romanian university, UPT Timișoara - focused on Quantum Supremacy, the exploration of a technology based future. This year's amazing line-up featured visionaries such as Richard Quest (CNN international business correspondent and anchor), Gregory Robinson (former director of the NASA James Webb Space Telescope Program) and Ben Banerjee (Co-founder and managing partner of Impact Investing Solutions). Yet again I got to practice the 2h tour packed into 30 minutes 🙈, and apparently I'm way better at synthesizing than I thought, or so they all said. I cannot tell a lie, I do like me a challenge.

A couple of days ago, I got these pictures from some old friends living abroad. In a bookstore in England they found the latest edition of the Lonely Planet guide to Romania and Bulgaria, featuring yours truly. I had been included in this guide before, but this feature is particularly dear to me because of its background story. Also, I got to mention and support some of my favorite businesses in town, which complete the experience I try to offer my guests. Timișoara and I both thank you, Shaun! ❤️
