EP 20: From Abandonment to Belonging: Aura Hosu on Family, Purpose, and Changing Lives in Romania

In this episode of the Nomad CEO Podcast, I sit down with Aura Hosu inside Caminul Felix in Oradea, Romania — a place that completely shifted my perspective on family, purpose, and what it means to truly impact lives.

Aura, a foster parent and one of 12 siblings herself, shares how her upbringing shaped her calling to serve vulnerable children. Together with her husband — who was once an orphan raised in the same village — they now raise and mentor kids who’ve experienced deep trauma, abandonment, and poverty.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The mission behind Caminul Felix and how it creates real family environments
• Aura’s story growing up in a big, love-filled but humble home
• What it’s like raising children from hard, traumatic backgrounds
• Powerful success stories of kids who became athletes, doctors, and leaders
• Why identity is not defined by your past
• Simple ways anyone can get involved — time, skills, or support

This conversation grounded me. It reminded me that impact isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s built quietly, through love, consistency, and showing up.

If you’ve ever questioned your purpose or your ability to make a difference, this episode will shift something in you.
