Hello, I'm Iliuta.
I’m Iliuta Goean, a nature and wildlife photographer, birdwatcher and founder of Discover Danube Delta. Since 2004, I’ve been organizing photography, birding and nature enthusiast tours in the Danube Delta, one of Europe’s most remarkable wild areas. Starting in 2012, my work expanded across borders, into Bulgaria and Greece, where I continue to guide visitors in exploring and understanding nature through respectful observation. Originally from Bucharest, I left the “comfort” of an office life to live closer to what truly matters to me, the wilderness. Today, my home is the Danube Delta, where I spend my days observing, photographing and sharing the magic of wildlife with others. My goal is simple: to help people reconnect with nature and to pass on a clean, healthy environment to my children. Every tour, photo and conversation is an opportunity to inspire respect, awareness and genuine care for the natural world.

How I align with or contribute to nature-positive tourism and rewilding:
About Discover Danube Delta At Discover Danube Delta, we create nature-based experiences that protect, not pressure, the wild places we visit. Our tours are built around respect for wildlife, conservation values and a minimal footprint. In the Danube Delta, we explore the waterways quietly, using low-speed, eco-friendly boats designed to reduce noise and erosion. In Transylvania, guests can observe Brown Bears from professional hides, supporting responsible ecotourism instead of exploitation. Across the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria, we partner with conservation NGOs to offer ethical vulture photography tours, helping fund ongoing rewilding efforts. And in Northern Greece, we have photo tours at Lake Kerkini, where Dalmatian Pelicans thrive thanks to successful local protection measures. Each journey we offer aims to inspire understanding and respect for nature while raising awareness of the threats it faces. Through small groups, expert guidance and genuine care, we ensure that our guests become allies in preserving Europe’s wild heritage.
