Emigration has become an attractive option for Romanians in recent years, being based on various social, economic, or cultural reasons. This paper explores the experiences of people from two Romanian counties, who have emigrated to Western European countries in the last 10 years, seeking to identify the reasons why respondents emigrated and identify the difficulties they faced in the emigration process. The research method is qualitative, based on the interview, and the research instrument used is the semi-structured interview guide. The participants in the study were 12 people from Botoșani (Eastern Romania) and Timiș (Western Romania) counties. Data collection was carried out between April and June 2023, both face-to-face and online, through a video application, after participants expressed their agreement to participate by signing an informed consent. Data processing was carried out deductively, based on categories and subcategories. The results highlight the desire for change in the quality of life for the study participants and their family members, family reunification, and change in the social and cultural environment. The main adaptation difficulties highlighted by the study participants were mainly related to communicating in the language of the country to which they had emigrated, finding a job in accordance with their skills, and traveling in the community by public transport. For those who already had family members settled abroad, the adaptation was easier.
