- First year down, one more year to go! Bonus points to whoever can count how many times I mention Moldova in the first minute and the number of hairstyles I sport in this entire video. Poftim.
I’m literally so amazed by how you learned the language so quick and then the way you pronounce them is just so perfect. As a Moldovan I am really honored that there’re still people who are interested in this country and get joy from living in there😍❤️❤️
Maria Parsov mulțumesc mult pentru cuvintele frumoase!
Thank you so much for making this video. I am the son of a Romanian immigrant, and I recently accepted my invitation to serve as a TEFL in Moldova. Your host village looks just like my grandparents! I am so excited to embark on this experience, and I'm trying to soak up as much of the culture and life as I can before I go :)
I'm literally in awe at how obvious and fast your language evolution is! even small things very particular to the moldovan dialect like saying "ṣi" instead of "ce".
you did great and I'm happy you managed to have a good time here ♡
I'm thinking of applying to a Peace Corps program in Moldova! Thanks for the video, it's nice to see what the country and culture are like before applying :D
I just came across your video and looked at the date and it looks like you are coming close to COS! Congratulations!! As an RPCV myself, I'll wager that your second year was even better! :)
Andrea René Abroad Thanks for the kind words! The second year has definitely been a completely different ballgame, but equally exciting nonetheless. I’ve got 99 days left as of today!
@@scottondamove That is incredible!! Again, congratulations!
Scott, I thought your reaction to winter was hilarious. Actually, last winter in Moldova was mild (I live in Bulboaca, Anenii Noi district), but then I remembered that you're from California. I'm from Michigan, so I'm used to it. Dress warmly, have some nice boots and gloves, enjoy the sound of crunching snow when you walk over it. Thanks for coming to Moldova!
This is so amazing!!! ☺️ I leave for my service in Benin (Northwest Africa) in a month and honestly your enthusiasm in the video is exactly what I’m feeling and it makes me so excited to begin my service! Good luck with your next year!
Kellyann Elam Mahalo! I wish you the best in your service!
Hahah good luck man, i met some american peace corps volunteer in the wave week summer camp in vadul lui voda in 2015, thanks for coming to Moldova. As a moldovan teenager that was a really cool experience
Stumbled upon your vlog! Brought back tons of memories of my service in Nicaragua. Also! Noticed your UCI flag in your video! Super cool to see another anteater in PC!
Zotzot! I’m glad you enjoyed the vlog. Hope the RPCV life is treating you well!
I just applied to volunteer in Moldova starting May 2020. I'm super excited now.
How is it?
Man thanks for this video! This is giving me more motivation to finish my application for Moldova!
This video made me smile. I was in the M20 group (2007-2009)...I loved it so much, it's now my permanent home. Mult succes si noroc tie mai departe aici in Moldova si oriunde te afli in viitor!
Mersi mult! I’d love to pick your brain sometime on how much Moldova has changed since you were a PCV. Poate putem sa ne intalnim la o bere candva la Chisinau
@@scottondamove Sorry for the late response; my wife and I were visiting family in the U.S. for a long Thanksgiving visit. I'd love to meet up with you. Find me on Facebook (same name and picture of a dog) and we can figure things out.
Bravo 👍felicitări
I am leaving next year to Moldova :) ! Just followed you on IG !. Super helpful video ! THANKS
Congrats on making it through your first year! I laughed a bit at your complaining about the snow. I'm in the mountains of Western Maryland and my university's "Spring Break" (March) was right in time for a blizzard haha. Luckily a few of my Chinese friends stayed around to hang out that week instead of traveling the states.
Good luck on your next year of service!
3rdBT Gaming thanks man!
Hey! I'm an M5 (stationed in Edinet...where are you??)..just found this video...so interesting that things have changed so much and yet are still so familiarly the same!
10:09 I'm from southern california and I pray for a long winter every year! Lol if it reaches 70 degrees in the spring, i hate it.
Hi, My name is Jizelle and I committed to the Peacecorp and hopefully, once all my health forms are turned in I'll be going to Moldova and just want to talk to you about your experiences.
Great video, thank you!! I am hosting an exchange student from Moldova this year and am loving every second of it! Where in Moldova were you?
Amy Hodge hey there! I’m about 2 hours north of the capital, Chisinau!
10:00 Dude, you obviously haven't been to Spokane. It randomly snowed one year in the middle of fucking April.

Mi a placut vlogul tau foarte tare! And I actually Like your pronounciation in limba moldoveneasca. But let me please ask you one question: in care orase si saturi ati fost?
Great videos Scott! Im applying to PC moldova now, any advice you can give me for the application process and the especially the resume? Thanks for your time! -Nick
Hey Nick, I'm also in the process of applying to PC Moldova! What position are you applying for?
hey Kayla! Im applying for the organization development facilitator! what about you?
I'm applying for the Health Educator position! Just spoke with a recruiter today and have been working on my essay section. I got a lot of really good information on the application process/interview from her if you would like me to email it to you.
Nicholas Padilla Thanks for reaching out, Nick! The application process is really simple, I would just make sure to list and highlight any experience you may have that’s related to the program that you are applying into, as well as any work you may have had with youth. We work a lot with younger people in country and in my opinion it would make your resume even more appealing if you have had experience working with a younger age group. Good luck with the application process!
❤️
This is an awesome video! I would really like some information on how you prepared! I am 17 currently and I would like some tips on what I could do until I apply for a Moldova spot. Whether it be learning a language or things I could volunteer for etc. Thank you so much!
Jessika Mashburn Hey there! My biggest suggestion would be to get experience in the program that you are looking to apply into. I know with Peace Corps Moldova there are a few different programs: English Education, Health Education and Organizational Development Facilitator, so I would suggest to definitely gain some experience working in those fields before applying. Bachelor degrees are required for the English programs, but for the Health Education and the Organizational Development Facilitator Programs, you are required to have at least 5 years of professional experience in the field if you do not have a Bachelor’s Degree. And as for the language, you don’t worry about it beforehand because you will go through extensive in-country language training once you arrive. Best of luck!
ScottOndaMove you’ve helped more than you know! That is exactly what I needed to know on how to move forward. Thank you for your time!
How long was training?
I just scheduled my interview for a position in Moldova. Was it difficult for you to learn Romanian? What are your living arrangements like after PST?
Kelsey Harris If you’ve studied a Romance language before (Spanish/Italian/French/Portuguese), Romanian may be a little easier to learn since there are a lot of similarities. But even for complete beginners, I’d say Romanian is still fairly easy to learn. My permanent living arrangements are a bit different than my PST arrangements. I live in a bigger house in a bigger town so it has its perks. But you end up missing the small village life too every now and then. Good luck with the interview if you haven’t had it already!
Hello Scott!
What is the name of the song you used in the beginning of the video?
Rebecca Mulima World News - The Local Natives
Did you go to UCI??? No waay! Anteater!!
Good night. I want to volunteer. which city are you in?
Hello Scott I'm from Moldova, what village are you in?
Alexandru Efros I’m in a village in the northeastern part of Moldova, close to the Ukrainian border.
Da tu şti cum sa vorbeşti ?
I have 3 days to decide between Moldova and two other countries. I sure appreciate your video. Wish we could chat online. Are you on facebook? I need help with my choice.
Julianne Smith hey there! If you have an instagram, you can DM me at @scottondamove. I’d love to chat with you there
I am questioning myself - why do you come here? What is the point? Are you being paid for this?
