The village of Bărcăneşti is located south of Ploiești, where the author is from. It represents the home of the author's grandparents on his father's side, and is a lovely place to spend weekends and holidays. The author enjoys running on the village's free roads using his longboard without danger from cars. He also likes the parties his family hosts in the backyard, where over 20 people gather to listen to music, cook on the grill, and enjoy a great atmosphere. The village holds many fond memories for the author from holidays like Christmas and New Year spent there in his youth.
