Globe Trotter in Moldova

"Moldova is a small but beautiful country with a fascinating history, culture and people. Its lush green hills, dense forests, and the wonderful sunflower fields are a treat to the eye. The land is very fertile, and vineyards occupy a major part of the region.

Wine is an especially powerful symbol in Moldova, it is associated with quality and purity. The cellars of Cricova and Milestii Mici with their extensive collection of old wines are considered to be a state treasure.

The cultural heritage of Moldova is rich with traditions and customs. Its professional craftsmanship brought the country an international fame by making fine objects of embroidery, wood carvings, clay, knit carpets, metal decorations, baskets of osier.
For all its beauty and Moldovans’ optimistic attitude towards life, the harsh reality is still different."

Globe Trotter Itinerary




I have invitations for following countries. I will apply to them as soon as I am finishing with the previous one. If you want me to come to your country and think you can support me in getting CS please send me a message and I will add your country to the list.

I also have promises for support in getting CS for next countries. As I mentioned before, if I will receive a direct invitation, that will mean more interest for the project, so I will add/move the country to the previous list.
