Moldova is home to so many expats - each one of them with their unique story. In this episode I chat with Bob and Brieanne, an American couple living in Chisinau. Both of them do research and teach at the Pedagogical and State universities of Moldova, respectively.

@redhead_inc Жыл бұрын

Prices are wild as of lately, but... long term rent for 1 bedroom apartment in city center is 500-600 EUR. A spacious 2-3 bedroom apartment could go for 800-1000 EUR easy.

@SuperheroArmorychannel Жыл бұрын

I just returned from Chisinau Moldova a few weeks ago and i rented the nicest luxury air bnb in a new building right in the city center and it was available for long term rent at $800/mo which means an equivalent apartment would be much less, maybe around $600/mo. He got ripped off really bad if he’s paying $1200/mo for that apartment.

Without ever been in there but watching the prices around and for that money there would get hell of a better looking apartments. So i think they got screwed with the rent price. Plus all the other cost that some places includes into the rent.

Moldovan culture is extremely old and robust. Its like a big heavy rock that would not let itself easily be moved. Even Romanians are more easy going in their character. Moldovan families and societies are generally ruled by women. The country is in a weak spot only because politics. But in its essence moldovan families are build in the blood, temper, and vision of the female. On the other hand Moldovan males would always be ready to sacrifice their lives in order to protect their families. Moldovans genuinely have a structural, as well as, critical thinking -> They'll never get confused about their priorities. They don't need whats not theirs and they will find ways to thrive with pride and respect even in the harshest circumstances. They are, indeed, rational to the core. Russians never understood that moldovans are naturally creative and will never loose their rationality and positive approach towards life. Moldova will stand proud and tall long after many nations will transform or change/adopt other cultures. They are very similar to the poles.

Cheers, mate! Moldova can be boring or interesting depending on your touristic preferences! I think it’s a good destination for 🍷 Wine Travel (50+ wineries of all shapes and sizes) 🐐Rural tourism (stay at a farm, enjoy delicious traditional food, crafts like weaving pottery, village museums, etc) 🙏Orthodox Churches & monasteries (not so many of them left in the world, can exclude Russia for next 10 years) 🎖️Soviet tours & Brutalist architecture. Tourists especially like this part, including a visit to the self-proclaimed Transnistrua and the autonomous Gagauzia.
