My dad was the first one to leave the country in 1984. He was the chief engineer (mariner) and while the ship was docked (Port of Los Angeles) he applied for political asylum. My mom and I were allowed to join him in July 1986.

Do you still have a Romanian citizenship? What is your relationship with Romania now, and would you ever consider going back there?
I do. I visit every 1-2 years. Still have family living there - mainly for that reason. My husband (67) has retired last year & we’re actually considering relocating to Romania (Borșa - Maramureș area). He loves the Romanian mountain countryside. I do too, though I was born and raised at the other end of the country (Constanța area - seashore).
That sounds wonderful! I have some extended family in Romania, but I never visited. Would love to go!
