Why Retire in Moldova?

If you are seeking a place to retire that is somewhat similar to mid-America, Moldova is it. Nestled between Romania and Ukraine down near the Black Sea, Moldova enjoys a climate of 4 distinct seasons with the side benefit of very low humidity in the Summer. Excellent air travel connections to most major European cities and train service connecting to all of Europe.
Cost of living that is about as low as you will find anywhere and a personal safety factor that is just not found anywhere else I have been.

Where is the "Natural Foods" Section?

You live in Moldova and you LIVE in the natural foods section.  Every grocery is for all intents and purposes a natural food store.  You will not find anything that has any preservatives, nitrates, nitrites, or Heaven forbid High Fructose Corn Syrup.  None of that stuff is allowed.  You can actually make yourself a sandwich from the lunch meat you purchase at the store and really taste the meat instead of thinking you are eating a salt sandwich. 


Coca Cola, Pepsi, 7up, all the major soft drinks are here and all sweetened with normal sugar, no HFCS.  There are diet drinks available as they are everywhere and they have artificial sweeteners but I ignore them in favor of fruit juices cut with water.


Fruit juices, I am SO spoiled. A 2 liter container of PURE apricot juice or most any other juice for that matter will cost you just a few pennies over $2.


So if you enjoy eating healthy, you can do it in Moldova.  You don't have to carry your magnifying glass to inspect the labels because its all the pure natural stuff.
