    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!! 💕

      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

    I had a experience like this in Taiwan with a very wonderful old caretaker of a temple in Taipei. We spent several days together, and he even consoled me over some inner pain I had at the time. I'll never forget him and I hope to see him again soon. Your experience with Mikhail is very palpable and you are blessed to have had the experience you had. I think in every country there is a very special old man or woman, a saint, waiting to find the right people to share life. You all treated him exceptionally well too. Really loved this.

I wish I can travel like this. Where I meet really good people and that they may remember me for a long time. Perhaps become long distance friends or something.

      Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name. The world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous.

    I must admit, when I first saw the title I was skeptical about watching the video. Somehow I decided to still do it, and when I realized which country you’re talking about, I couldn’t wait to see what you have to say about it. At the end of the video I was crying and feeling extremely homesick for the sole reason that you have visited the country I was born in and haven’t been to since 2003. I still have family there and I would love to go back and visit them. Thank you so much for posting this video And introducing people to this wonderful country that most people that I have no idea it exists. ❤🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩 ❤

    Mikhail is a perfect example. There are so many old people like him who have suffered massive losses, are lonely and are struggling.

      @@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.

    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.

      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.
