No Experience Required

You bounce along a dirt track as hills open into broad meadows dotted with grazing sheep; the 4x4 hums, tires sending up a scent of crushed wildflowers and spring sap. From hilltops you can see the distant white ridges of the Carpathians, while clear springs thread the valleys below — the landscape pushes and pulls at your pace, sometimes calm, sometimes abrupt.
