When Malina Virtejanu first visited Northern Ireland almost six years ago on a city break, within just a few months she would be calling the place her new home.
Hailing from the Romanian capital Bucharest, Malina, 38, came to Belfast in July 2016 and now she heads up an organisation offering advice and support to others who have chosen to make the move here.
In recent years Northern Ireland has witnessed a rapid diversification of its usually resident population, which has included a growing number of people from Romania, who began arriving here shortly after the country's accession to the EU in 2007.
