Accommodation and Meals
You will stay in a very comfortable, shared volunteer house a short bus ride outside Chisinau, in a nice village called Gratiesti. The property is fenced and gated and also has a garden. You will be expected to keep the house clean and tidy. Alternatively, when the house is full, you will stay in shared volunteer apartments in the city of Chisinau. Two meals per day are provided; breakfast and dinner.
Weekend travel
There are a number of highlights that you may like to see in your free time at weekends, such as the town of Chisinau or the surrounding area.
The project staff will be happy to help you organise excursions while you are there, so please discuss the options with them. Alternatively, you may wish to just relax around the house, so feel free to do just that!
Project Age Limit
