My family moved to the US when I was 7 (now I'm 20) and I haven't been back to visit Moldova in a really long time, but I miss it so much. We lived in a village too so this reminds me a lot of what it was like. Thank you for the video. I do feel a bit sad for the dogs. Most people in villages keep them as guard dogs and they are always on a chain.
Hi Djulieta! I love your videos; the way you talk about your country shows how much you love it, and now that I've come visit this country can tell why. Right now I'm at Chisinau, and I'm very surprised! this city is amazing, the food is really good (followed your suggestion from previous video and try Sarmale, it was delicious!), the people is very kind...Leaving soon this country, but totally in love with it. Greetings from a Colombian boy in Moldova
I’ve always known about Romania and Moldova, but never thought about much about them. I became fascinated with y’all since learning y’all are a Latin speaking people in Eastern Europe. Y’all never stopped speaking Latin while everyone around y’all began speaking a Slavic language. I love all your videos and follow you on instagram. Please continue to post videos about Moldova! I wish you all the success in the world!
The building, the rural street, your granmother's dress, the dog and the others details of the Moldova countryside landscape, remind me my birthplace, the south of Italy. What a genuine is this videos and what a beautiful is the semplicity of our places, Moldova and south Italy. Many things in common we have in our cultures and life approach. Maybe for this reason I'm starting to love Moldova and its people.
I love your videos. You are always entertaining and informative. Love your sense of humor. And I love learning about Moldova. You are the best guide. Thank you!
Foarte frumos...acasa si gradina si mancare!! Made my mouth water seeing you eat that pickle from the jar, so good when they are just right and crunchy. Very nice that you keep your roots close and your family and your origins closer, huge respect for that.
this is so lovely. There is so much in comon when i grew up long time ago in the south of Brasil. Congratulation for the beautiful family and enjoy while it lasts :)
My grandmother house looks exactly the same. The 'kompot, ' the 🐥 in the backyard, the outside wc, even the dress of my grandmother was exactly like your grandma . Greetings from Bulgaria
Hi Djulie! I really enjoy your videos! Missing the old countryside: the sound of the animals, the smells, the hot days and warm nights full of stars. Just simple, peaceful and relaxing for the soul. Never been to Moldova but would gladly spend a few days with your bunica. Sănătate sa trăiesc!
A lot of western countries are really trying to make a move back to "homesteading" like this. Self-sufficiency is so important. Many people move away to the cities and within a generation or two they lose the skills needed for basic survival. It's refreshing to see this traditional Moldovan village home and how your granny is able to self-sustain. Thank you for sharing!
Very nice place and not so different from my house. The loo was down the path to the chicken coop and had honey suckle growing on it. I still grow honey suckle but we burned down the loo after putting up addition with inside plumbing. I’m retired now and living simple life on a few acres of land with orchard garden and cold springs, it’s nice and quiet, but now that I’m not allowed to go to town much because of covid I’m starting to miss being around people.
Pickled cucumbers in your Grandma's cellar! I make them every year! I wonder what is your recipe. Please - let me know. We have many ones: For semi-pickled ones it is the same as below but we use large, wide, open jars or pots and we let the cucumbers pickle for just few days in room temperature. For real pickles, winter-lasting cucumbers, we use hot but not boiling water poured over cucumberd in jars, with a lots of (sort of overgrown) dill, garlic, some vine or oak leaves, and a bit of horseraddish root. Delicious! Everyone in PL has a bit different recipe. I am sure you make it perfect in Moldova. There are only few countries in Europe where people still make home pickles. I live in an apartment building where every flat has a small cellar in the basement and most people keep their home-made pickles there. I am sure that you go to pick up wild mushrooms in Moldova. I love to do it in Poland. In the west you can taste wild mushrooms only at expensive restaurants, I believe, but here it is a common thing and we are well-stacked with dried, pickled or frozen mushrooms. BTW: Leżanka in Polish means "a place to lay down", leżeć = lay down. Kalosz in Polish is the same - a rubber boot to walk in rain/mud/water 😀. Bună dimineaţa and mulţumesc Djiulieta!
Hahaha - Love your videos. This one in particular is not only informative but hilarious as well. It looks like your family's farm is just east of Chisinau near the Romanian border. Beautiful part of the world.
@@livinginmoldovawithdjuliet8984 thx, I'd love to find a sweet Moldova lady to Marry And bring to America I live on a big yacht So she would have to love the water and sunshine And being treated like a Queen 👸 🌞 🏝🚢🏝 🐬
Hi Djulieta i love your Moldovan household. Your very polite and smart your English is USA dialect, i love your Attitude very intelligent. your Moldova is close like my Montenegro that i come from, now in Florida USA
I must say that you have a unique style and speech both that makes you different from other vloguers. I have recently been to balkans and planning to tour Romania and Moldova 🇲🇩 soon.
Hope to visit one day. My lady was born in Dubasari , I think, being raised not far from Chisinau, and was proud of Moldova despite the politics and financial status. Krasivaya she is🥰😢 Thank you for sharing your memories!! From California 👍
Hi it's Rahman from Germany,I am really fascinated by the real view of Moldovan village, German villages are also attractive but it has little modernization, but I really appreciate the ancient way to live in a peaceful place with peace Thanks a lot for your outstanding work
Thanks for your time, actually I had a plan to visit Moldova this summer, but due to Corona pandamic everything become very hostile, but if I get a chance I will definitely visit your country, and maybe you could help me a lot to know about your culture, society and so on
Are all dogs chained up to the front gate in Moldova? 😢 It looked so sad and lonely. Dogs are pack animals... Just like people, they get depressed if they are alone
You should be, I’ve only met one Moldovan and she is the most beautiful, kind and caring person I’ve met. I love how your people aren’t concerned with superficial nonsense.
A root cellar most farms had them . around the world for CA In pickeling and fermentation ,Nite 3 holer outhouse isn't unknown either if you live outside a town sewer system.
....I watched this with the sound off, just looking at the countryside and scenery.....reminded me of 1930's USA...rural...simple...uncomplicated by tech....Look at the opening scenes of "The Wizard of Oz" ....it's the same...
This is like Dominican Republic's typical rural class, only with colder weather. Chickens, boiled corn on the cob, but no pickling nor underground wine cellars.
Looks a lovely place, much like Scotland :-) It's a shame that a great video is a bit ruined by low sound levels, but a great video, all very interesting, hope to meet you soon, Gordon X PM
My brothers wife, Natalia, is from Moldova. She lived in a small village as well. They live in Huntsville Alabama now. I subscribed to learn more about your country because I'm planning a trip there soon. God Bless. That was funny apologizing to the ducks for their ultimate demise.
i'v been in Moldova round 10 times and i am twice married with Moldova woman, nice place and people really friedly i was in Kisinev i dont know if exist sun city any more i hear got fire
I enjoyed the inside look at the real Moldova. I myself immigrated to the US with my family in 1967 when I was 8 from Portugal. I have many wonderful memories of my country. We didn't have much, but what we did have, we cherished. Some of my fondest memories are of when when we stayed with my grandparents who lived in the countryside much as your video shows of Moldova. Running barefoot, getting cold water from the well, cooking on a wood furnace, and yes visiting the outhouse with a lantern in the middle of the night. What makes me very sad today, so many decades later, is going on Google Earth and looking at the area where my grandparents lived. Everything has vanished, replaced by roads, factories, and even sewage treatment plants. It is so sad to me that the place which I have so many beautiful memories, is now gone forever....I liked your video, but did not enjoy the snarkiness and lack of respect. Do not joke about your beautiful land and the hardworking people such as your grandmother. She has probably gone through many hardships and pain, such as you will never know. Learn to appreciate your wonderful heritage and culture. I'm not Moldovan , but I can appreciate all the wonderful things which your video displayed. Good luck, and may you one day feel about your country as I feel about my country of birth, Portugal...
Hi dear your show all great thank you for your education I proms when I go to Moldova I will bring nice present from washington I like to know how much a house like your grandmother in the village cost and does foreigners can own house thanks rabieh
My grandparents and family lived in Moldova around 100 years ago before immigrating to Israel. It is interesting to me to find out about the country of my roots. I wish there was a way to meet a sweet Moldovan lady to marry.
chris weaver I am speaking from experience Moldovans love all visitors, they will even smile and say welcome at the passport control. At one point it was the least visited country in Europe, I believe it’s currently the 3rd least visited in Europe because people like me up the game a little 😊
@@Svetlana-says-it-as-it-is. well the two old ladies smuggling cigarettes into Romania didn't care too much for me. I understood a bit of what they were saying but pretended not to but they still gave me the sideeye. But everyone else was nice
HI!! I'm from Colombia, and I could tell Moldovans were very nice and very kind to me...I feel really welcome in this country...although the ladies in passport control didn't smile at all as @SvetlanaAlves Saysitasitis says
Johan Sebastian Romero Melo Well depends who you got and it was a gentleman by the way not everyone is going to get that because we are all different. I only spoke from my experience. Here in the UK or USA you would be very lucky to find a smilie officer at passport control. Maybe the ladies at passport control were not in a smilie mood or had a tummy ache who knows. If overall you had a good experience that’s all that matters 😊
Hello I love your video I live in Southern California and I’m planning a trip in June to go to the Ukraine and I want to visit Moldovia can you give me a little insight to where I should start? thank you Tom
Good information about Moldova. It's very classic area. Feel so peaceful 😌

I do feel a bit sad for the dogs. Most people in villages keep them as guard dogs and they are always on a chain.
Indeed. The poor baby. They should really learn how to respect animals. But then again most of these folks live like back dark ages.
Yeah the dog looked neglected as fuck and she’s like “why you look so sad?” Haha while it’s covered in dirt and chained up lol.
