Moldova is a small, landlocked country situated between Romania and Ukraine. It is known for its monastic history and wine culture, offering tours and experiences from the capital, Chișinău.

• Political discourse can be polarized, reflecting various views regarding relations with the EU, Russia, or neutrality.
• Sensitive topics to avoid include Romania-Moldova unification, the Transnistria conflict, and Moldova's EU membership, particularly in pro-Russian regions.
• Be mindful that while Romanian is the official language, discussions about identity and language can be sensitive and vary by person's self-identification.
• Expect local curiosity, and when dealing with scammers, ignore them or firmly instruct them to leave. Women are highly respected in Moldovan society; men are expected to show chivalry. In rural areas, women are discouraged from smoking or drinking alcohol.
