Traveling to the Country Everyone is Trying to Leave.

Moldova - the least visited and one of the poorest countries in Europe. A country most of us know nothing about. But we wanted to travel here and find out what the real Moldova is like, beyond the continuous negative news headlines in the west. So we booked a last minute flight from London to Romania and then crossed the border in to Moldova, where we travelled on to the capital Chisinau, to explore the country and try to learn more about this little known country on the edge of eastern Europe. Welcome to Moldova! 🇲🇩

Hi people, I am from Moldova and I am glad to read your comments about my country. If you will be able to visit Moldova, try to visit a village and try their food and wine. It is the best what you can eat and drink ever. Also there are some touristic destinations whici you must visit, for exemple Soroca Fort, Orheiul Vechi. Wine Factories, etc. Thanks for emotions.

I'm from UK and spent two memorable weeks in Moldova in 2018 and stayed at a lovely little guest house in Trebuijeni. The weather was baking hot but thankfully the guest house restaurant had air-con! The country may be the poorest in Eastern Europe but the Moldovan people are the most friendly and welcoming. I will always remember you fondly.

I'm from Moldova and I can say that it is so interesting to watch at your country from the view of an tourist. I mean, I know every place you were, but when I watched the video this places became unusual to me .Thank you for the video I was really excited to see it

We visited Moldova in 2018. To the question ‘why going to Moldova’ and our answer ‘holidays’ both the old Romanian and the young Moldovan border guards reacted the same way - “Holidays!? In Moldova!?” (We went with Moldovan friends). We weren’t in Chişinău, we were in a smaller village. green, like a garden, wonderful people, cool wine tunnels. Not many ‘tourist attractions’, though Orhei Vecci is really worth a visit.

I had a great time in Moldova over 20 years ago having cycled there all the way from England. It took 2 months to get there and I needed a visa for US$30 bought at Sculeni border crossing east of Jasi. I met some great people there and ice-cream vans were everywhere, and water wells in every village, most of them very ornate and with religious symbols as it was the source of life. South-east of Chisinau I encountered a Russian border control which charged $5 for a paper visa to transit the breakaway republic of Trandniestria, and then I was off to Odesa in Ukraine. Moldova was much different back then with no internet or mobile phones.... I just had a page ripped out of an old school atlas for orientation - Great Times 🙂 Thanks for the video, though, it brings back some memories.

I must admit I got a bit teary when you were being weighed by the old guys. They were obviously trying to earn some money to add to their pensions . 🐱 X

At the start I thought you would name Albania, a country I visited for the same reason you went to Moldova. Now Moldova is on my bucket list.

[lindauhrig]

I love how you support locals when you travel! We do the same. Also, Julia, you should raffle your paintings, too! They are beautiful. I wish the people from Moldova all the best.

My uncle married a Moldovan women. They are pretty happy right now. She had also a daughter when they arrived here in Italy.
Now she's adult and have finished the school's but I hoped that she would have continue to study and go also to the university.
Instead she opted to work.
The important thing is that they are all happy.

I visited Chisinau some years ago and i liked!!! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹👍🏻

I actually travel off the beaten path and went to Moldova and found it interesting, people where for the most part very friendly. Good food and wine. What struck me was the beauty but unkept. Broken walkways graffiti on beautiful buildings and of course the Soviet block apartments. The contrast were so surprising to me luxury automobiles in front of run down buildings. But the people are amazing and as I would struggle to translate was met with smiles and answers in English. It’s well worth the trip. I actually will travel again there.

Moldova was for 30 years the poorest country in Europe until 2022. Now its the second poorest after Ukraine.

Love Moldova! Un loc cu adevărat minunat!

[Sashka]

Moldova has a lot of beautiful places but is better for a visit in May when a lot of cherry trees are blooming and definitely Summer, everything is full of green and flowers are everywhere. There’s a lot of historic places, a lot of traditional Moldavian cuisine, also is a castle in Soroca, a beautiful castle Mimi near Chișinău, old church built in stone, etc.

[crocolagerfelden]

Moldova seems to be a lovely country with warm and friendly people! I hope they manage to overcome the economic issues in the nearest future. And the fermented watermelons sound really interesting!
