Meet Cristina, the heart and soul behind Local Footsteps. Born in a small town surrounded by mountains, she grew up with an adventurous spirit and a deep love for nature, travel, and authentic experiences. After years of guiding across Romania and beyond, she founded Local Footsteps to share the real essence of her homeland with curious travelers.

As both a guide and the driving force behind the company, Cristina believes in creating meaningful, immersive tours where guests feel like they’re traveling with a friend rather than just a guide. Whether she’s leading a hike through the Carpathians, uncovering hidden villages, or sharing a home-cooked meal with locals, she ensures every journey is filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

With a passion for people, storytelling, and adventure, Cristina isn’t just showing you Romania—she’s inviting you to experience it like a local, one step at a time.
