[[File:ro-map.gif|thumb|right|300px|Map of Romania]]
'''Romania''' is one of the newest members of the [[European Union]], located in South-East Central Europe. It shares a border with [[Hungary ]] and [[Serbia ]] to the west, [[Ukraine ]] and the Republic of [[Moldova ]] to the northeast, and [[Bulgaria ]] to the south.
In Romania payment for the ride is often expected, although foreigners often aren't asked for anything. People expect to be paid for giving a ride, but if you tell them in advance that you are unable to pay, 1 out of 2 will take you anyway. It is still cheaper than trains and buses though. The local currency is the Leu (pl. Lei). When hitchhiking, it's best to hold a sign with the name of the place you want to go. The most common method is using the 2-letter county code for the place you want to go.
* [[Siret-Porubnoe border crossing]]
There is no border crossing between Ukraine and the Danube Delta region of Romania. Travelers going between eastern Romania and southern Ukraine must pass through Moldova. There are private boats that may [[ferry ]] travelers, but they ask into the hundreds of euro for the service.
