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.

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

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 1500 euros for the financing of this platform, which will be both in French and English with themes covering Moldovan culture and society.

I am organising a first Tour limited to 35 participants from 19 to 28 August 2016. My financial needs amount to 2000 euros in the short run (working capital financing) for this Franco-British travel agency of a new kind based in Moldova, a world premiere!

The inaugural Moldova Discovery Tour 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!

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.

In 2017, I will be offering the following tours

- The Monastery Tour (come and visit the architectural and religious wonders of the country)

- Le Academic Tour, born out of the original profession of the founder, this tour offers touristic visits combined with immersion stays within leading Moldovan higher education institutions in order to build a bridge between Moldovan and foreign academics. Who knows, international partnerships, students exchanges and sandwich courses will come out of your visit to Moldova?
