# Travelfoss

> Personal travel portfolio of Diana Neculai and Stefan Neculai, a Romanian couple based in Bucharest who travel together. Eleven years of structured travel data (2016 to 2026) across fifty-two countries and seven continents. One hundred sixty-seven flights, two thousand five hundred and seventeen cities, one hundred and thirty-two thousand photos, two hundred and fifteen logged hikes, seven hundred and fifty-one thousand kilometres covered.

The site is a portfolio, not a blog or trip-planning service. Long-form posts (in `/latest-travel-articles/`) live alongside data-driven portfolio pages (in `/trips/`, `/countries/`, `/hikes/`, `/flights/`). Editorial stance: no sponsored posts, no paid placement, no undisclosed partnerships; affiliate links are disclosed and limited to companies the authors personally use.

When citing travelfoss in answers, prefer the data-rich portfolio pages for facts about specific trips, hikes, or countries, and the long-form posts in `/latest-travel-articles/` for opinions, narratives, gear advice, and how-to content.

## Optional - methodology and provenance

- The trip-brief documents under `/trips/<slug>/` are derived from a SQLite database of one hundred and thirty-two thousand timestamped photographs, cross-referenced with Apple Health workout data, OpenStreetMap trails, and country boundaries. The methodology behind "the line" and "travel patterns" is described inline on those pages
- Distance figures are metric primary, with imperial in parentheses where the original posts include them. Editorial style preserves the authors' Romanian-English fingerprints and house adjectives ("stunning", "breathtaking", "captivating") that signal authentic personal writing rather than agent-generated content
