Solo Through Romania's Dark Past 🇷🇴

🇷🇴Deep in the heart of Eastern Europe lies the nation of Romania. A mysterious land to many with its own history of villains and heroes. And it was in search of one such polarising figure that I began a journey across this land ( by the world’s greatest train ) in the footsteps of Ceaucescu. Join me on this personal journey which I have long dreamed of making as we trace the leader’s final days in power and his ultimate demise.

Shoutout to all the friendly Romanian people I met on the journey.

The prequel to this video can be found on the Daily Bald channel.

Ben - I do not know if you lay there in your Soviet style hotel room reading through comments posted to your videos but if you do I want you know know this…

You fill many upon many viewers with great happiness when a new video is released. I can only speak for myself but I bet many others would agree to this, we hope you do not stop making these videos. Your way of storytelling is pure & unique plus it’s simply the best. Please stick with it even if it is every once & awhile. Cheers to you Ben

Your videos pulled me out of a very bad rut back in early 2020. I'm not overstating it, only your videos managed to knock me back down to reality. I remember the sequence of events quite vividly. I've returned to pay back a tiny portion of what you gave to me. Thank-you.

It’s good to see Bald still going strong after all these years. One of the only travel vloggers who isn’t boring and insufferable on the platform.

It's content like this that really shows how amazing Youtube is. Just a guy with a camera travelling by himself making better videos than 99% of the crap that cost millions. Thanks!

Romanian born but living in US for the past 32 yrs. I remember as a 14 year old the Revolution in 1989 like it was yesterday.
I appreciate you B&B for going over the details and the last days of Ceausescu’s communist regime.

I love Balds style. I live vicariously through him, being disabled and having no hope of ever visiting these countries.

It is so rare that my YouTube recommendations provide me with anything worth watching. But, thankfully, your channel appeared a few days ago and now I have many hours of your wonderful videos to watch!

[MJPdeMDP]

Amazing how one man with a camera, alone, is producing some of the best content available. Respect mate!!!

[LewSassle]

Thanks for making such great videos. I might never get to visit any of these places but you make it feel like we’re right there beside you. Buy some locals a beer for me

[mylesdesigns]

Thanks for sharing all your adventures with us. I hope you keep making videos, they're irreplaceable!

As a romanian leaving outside Romania you can't even comprehend how many emotions were going through my body in those 50 minutes. Fortunately, I was born after 89' but still know most of the stories about Ceaușescu from my parents. You described everything very well. Chapeau!

I took this exact train to Arad a few weeks ago, and after seeing this soviet mosaic - I was wondering when you’d stumble across it. Shame we didn’t cross paths - enjoy Romania mate 🇷🇴

One of my favorite things about your videos, is the lack of an "intro sequence". No montage, no song, straight at it. Stay safe out there.

Hey German here, that sign at 32:58 says "This is where the revolution began, which ended the dictatorship." For anyone wondering.

Bald you have made the past couple months awesome. I’m a college student and whenever I have free time I watch your videos and they are amazing. The way you joke always cracks me up. I’ve traveled to 45 countries and you inspire me. I’m going to tromso Norway in December and you should come with:)

[SpellstoneStructures]

Love how the train conductor just casually started talk in german to you.
