Traveling to the “Worst” Country in Europe

[@YesTheory]

Hi friends :) we’ve already called Mikhail a few times since we left! He even found someone who could FaceTime us because he wanted to see our faces. The man truly is a problem solver! On a personal note, I was scared to take on so much travel without Ammar as he’s working on our big Iceman of Antarctica documentary, so I’m really grateful for all the amazing support I’ve felt behind all of these recent stories whether through watching, commenting, liking the videos or going as far as repping Seek Discomfort clothing, it is all appreciated. Much love to you all and see you in September once we’re back from break!! 💕

@@jessieplexer It fills me with contempt that the powers that be treat the elderly with such disdain. The vast majority of the elderly have worked and paid taxes their entire working life and thus funded the building of the country. let's face it, the government doesn't have a sausage stand out the back generating funds, it's OUR money and I recon the elderly should be well looked after by the state. I'm in New Zealand and we are behind Ukraine 100% ... (personally, I think countries and the politics surrounding them are nothing more than man-made fiction. The fact that even one perfectly healthy person should be killed to defend or maintain them defeats the whole purpose of government in the first place.

[@nathaliebazinga]

Moldova has been on my travel list for quite a while. I've mostly gotten familiarized with it through Eurovision. One thing I have gathered, an obviously it's no mistake, is that no matter how low budget everything is, Moldovan people always shine through with their charisma, passion and zest for life. All the luxury in the world cannot replace that feeling of belonging and being a accepted as a part of the community. I have, through years, formed a deep respect for Moldovans.This is why I can't wait to visit. Lots of hugs from Serbia xx

MIHAIL NOT ""MIKAIL "

[@olika-vamp]

The guys actually translated it wrongly. Mikhail's original question was something like "From where to where and why?", in Russian it's an usual combination of the W words, there's also a TV show in Russia called "What? Where? When?", so basically Mikhail's question construction was pretty similar. Mikhail used it in a humorous way, as he understood the guy was going to ask "how can I get there?". The translation made him look suspecting and untrustful, although in original the grandpa was totally in a joke mode.

It breaks my heart to see, and feel, the tragedy that Mikhail has suffered. I could feel his loneliness, which is why he gravitated towards you three. Thank you for taking him under your wing....but in reality, I see that he took you three under his. As an ER/ICU/Trauma Nurse, I see so many elderly that have no one. Not one who cares. And that is why so many elderly will talk one's ear off.....because you might have been the only one who bothered to acknowledge them, in years. It is a sad truth. But you guys adopted this man, and made his life, better. Memories that he will think of as he passes to the next life. God bless you for putting a light back under that amazing man!!

[@simona_merkinin]

Oh, it has happened to me several times. Whether it would be at a bus stop or in the park somewhere. Most of the times im not in a hurry when these strange connections happen and I feel happy to be a person which other people choose to talk to and sometimes even open their hearts to the point of tears. It's strange but absolutely heartwarming

Having lived in Moldova for four years, in the capital but mostly in the countryside, the best way I have found to describe Moldova is: if you find beauty in simplicity, Moldova is magical; and indeed it was magical to me.

Beauty in simplicity, that was just perfect. I went there alone when I was 19. Out of the 60 countries I have visited, Moldova is the one I remember the best. Its amazing in its own way with the warmest people

@MrAtikz Peace is up to Putin, and he'd be invading Moldova right now were it not for Ukraine and the arms from its allies. I'm afraid the only way to attain peace is to convince Putin that he hasn't the military capability to overrun Russia's neighbors. Medvedev just tweeted about invading the rest of Georgia. Moldova was on the Russian general's battle plans--that was caught on video. But, ya, Putin wants to essentially bring back the Soviet Union...minus the communism, perhaps, but definitely with Moscow (and himself) in charge. Is that what you are seeking, too?
