Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, society assumes interactions and relationships between cultures, between members of different peoples or states. Intercultural communication is the basis of creating such connections and contacts, especially in the context of migration. The present research identifies the Romanians level of cultural adaptation and their ability in taking on new communication paradigms in the migration process, but it also notices the existence of some obstacles/barriers and Romanian migrants` attempt to exceed them with a view to integration into the new country. We will start with conceptual identifications and specialists` opinions in the field. The main part of the study is built on research realized as an investigation based on a questionnaire addressed to the Romanians abroad. This research lays on observing the perceptiveness of strangers over Romanians, on identifying prejudices and discrimination, the difficulties in adapting to the new economic, social, and cultural environment. As well, it lays on establishing the methods of accepting and tolerating intercultural differences.
