I have been to Jo berg twice. The last time being 3-years ago. Each visit was not pleasant as being in the city reminded me of being in Northern Ireland in the early 1980’s. I was in the British military and engaged in various bits and bobs in the most dangerous village in the country (based upon the number of security forces who lost there lives there). The reason I mention this is the ‘vibe’ in Jo Berg is exactly the same as it was in Northern Ireland’s ‘murder central’. The only exception is i was walking around without the comfort of a weapon in my hands and three other desperados backing me up (we operated in 4 man teams). I have had a look at the ‘scores’ section on Jo Berg and it is in no way representative of the situation on the ground. Whether you are an expat nomad or a whatever please understand that Jo Berg is not a place to go ‘sight seeing’ in unless you have a couple SUV’s rammed with black water personnel following you. Joking aside there are better places to live in Southern Africa.

Cons of Living in Constanta
Gets cold in the winter Not many Nomad List members go here Hospitals are not that great Not family friendly Hostile towards LGBTQ+ Many people smoke tobacco -
In summer prices go up like crazy! Mamaia rentals are as high as New York in summer months because rich Bucharest spend their money there. Mamaia beach is beautiful but very crowded.

Gets expensive in the summer season

Great internet nice beaches and lots to do during the summer. During winter it can be a bit more lonely but some might enjoy the lack of crowds and the beach all to themselves.
-
The old casino is really nice but the beaches are not ugly buildings facing the sea. And not a lot of things to do when i went in september (2018). In the summer Mamaia is much more animated if you like this kind of stuff.
