Welcome!

This site tells of David Martin's travels in Moldova.

I first came to Moldova for a two week visit at the end of September, 2000. A month later I returned for a two year assignment working with the Parliament on tax and budget issues.

I posted a somewhat random assortment of pictures and descriptions of my travels around the country. I stayed for two years. Then I left for Uzbekistan. For Uzbekistan and Georgia, Go To David Martin's Main Menu
