For Irishman Liam Kevin O'Donnell, it was love at first sight

Irishman Kevin Liam O'Donnell lives in Chiojdu, a village in the Buzau Mountains (northeast of Bucharest), not far of Lacul Vulturilor (Eagles' Lake) and from the ancient forests of the Carpathians. His home is a villa with red heart pattern shutters, surrounded by a garden with flowers, fruit trees and a lot of wild trees making a dreamlike landscape; a miniature botanical garden on the bank of a crystal-clear creek.

We take a path pave with river stone, and the youngest O'Donnell, 12-year old Leon, meets us at the entrance. He goes to the local secondary school. 'Leo is the fondest of the nature in Chiojdu in our family. He wants to be a biologist and a messenger of Romanian culture and civilization,' discloses our host Cornelia O'Donnell, a Romanian woman born in Bucharest.
