Moldova Tours 2.0

<p> I am a French and British academic. I speak four languages, and I am established in Moldova where I have founded this startup of a new kind.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Platforma-online-startup-moldova-1371531056-1461179619" height="201" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/306912/platforma-online-startup-moldova-1371531056-1461179619.jpg" width="461"></p> <p>  </p> <p> I wish to combine the functionalities of Web 2.0 (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram) with the discovery of Moldova. I want to kick off with the creation of an interactive 2.0 forum pertaining to Moldovan society, economy and culture. This forum will be exclusively in French and English</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Web-2.0-list-1461179262" height="321" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/306908/web-2.0-list-1461179262.jpg" width="540"></p> <p>  </p> <p> I will then draw on the network effect of the 2.0 forum, and offer five distinct tours of the country tailored to your needs and tastes. I have just signed a contract with a Russian programmer based in Chisinau. I urgently need <u>1500 euros</u> for the financing of this platform, which will be both in French and English with themes covering Moldovan culture and society.</p> <p>  </p> <p> I am organising a first Tour limited to 35 participants from 19 to 28 August 2016. My financial needs amount to  <u>2000 euros in the short run</u> (working capital financing) for this Franco-British travel agency of a new kind based in Moldova, a world premiere!</p> <p>  </p> <p> The inaugural <strong> Moldova Discovery Tour </strong>will help you discover a blend of Moldovan tourism destinations and a two-day trip to Transnistria, the breakaway Republic reminiscent of the Soviet Union!</p> <p>  </p> <p> Please watch the video below, which hopefully will make you want to visit Moldova. I thank Alexandru from the National Moldovan Tourism Agency for granting me the rights to use this video for my crowdfunding campaign.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FMU_7YJijgPc%3Fwmode%3Dopaque&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMU_7YJijgPc&amp;image=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FMU_7YJijgPc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p> In 2017, I will be offering the following tours</p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> - The <strong>Monastery Tour</strong> (come and visit the architectural and religious wonders of the country)</p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="Manastirea-curchi-9-1461179773" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/306914/manastirea-curchi-9-1461179773.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> - The <strong>Nature and History Tour</strong> (you will venture into the most remote rural areas of Moldova, and also learn about the fascinating Butuceni culture, the first European civilization more than 7000 years ago).
