Solo Female Travel in Moldova
Overall Moldova felt safe as a solo female traveller and there are plenty of females who travel across Moldova alone so you are bound to meet similar solo females along your journey.
The Moldovan people are friendly and welcoming towards females so expect people welcoming you with a smile and some friendly chatter about your visit in Moldova.
What to expect:
Staring – it isn’t an unfriendly stare as people are just interested in you
Language barrier – not many people speak English so you may find it hard to make conversation with locals but this usually isn’t too much of an issue so don’t worry too much
Safety and Scams:
Taxis/Tours/Guides – Make sure to always agree on a price before starting the journey or tour as if you don’t they will rip you off and charge you a lot more than what you should have paid so make sure to always do this.
Moldovan Borders – You should avoid going close to the borders with Ukraine due to the ongoing war with Russia. There is also a risk of the situation escalating in neighbouring countries which may then affect places close to the border.
Break away state Transnistria – there is always a risk of the situation escalating between Moldova and Transnistria escalating. Exercise caution when visiting here
