@SimonCalder Moldova is unexpectedly great. A genuine hospitality and welcome for visitors. Plus its wines, cuisine (with farm-to-table freshness), medieval cave monasteries, Soviet and brutalist architecture, and spirit will surprise you.

[Uncornered Market - Dan & Audrey @umarket]

"Put it another way, visiting Moldova is like going home to the warm and funny family you forgot you had. Fantastic."

Plus, you get to enjoy this fabulous wine, delicious food, medieval cave monasteries, funky Soviet architecture, and heartfelt hospitality without the crowds.

🇲🇩Moldova is the perfect antidote to a world where tourists are increasingly shunned, taxed and pushed through sterile resorts

Traversing the U8 at night certainly offers experiences unavailable in any other city.

Long thread here, but please read and retweet.
A week after the #MoroccoEarthquake the rescue and recovery operation is over. The heavy equipment has been pulled out and with it goes all hope of finding the missing alive.

Efficiency, Germany edition.

Local man gets Hausarzt appointments using this one weird trick. Doctors hate him! 👨‍⚕️Of course, the trick is to send a fax.

If you aren’t yet using @ecosia as your search engine, today is the day to start as all profits are going to support local partner @AtlasHigh’s earthquake rebuilding activities in Morocco

Also, keep using it after today as searches go to support reforestation projects in world.

[Ecosia @ecosia]

🌳🌎 All profits from Ecosia searches today are going to the High Atlas Foundation @AtlasHigh to rebuild farms, irrigation systems, and plant 200,000 fruit and nut trees. 🌎🌳

Saying goodbye to Berlin’s summer from atop a hay bale. It was so good while it lasted, especially this second round of summer ☀️

How to help the Morocco earthquake victims
https://t.co/QBYDnNjaF6 Fund these local and global relief charities providing emergency services and essentials – and, if you have a holiday booked to visit soon, think before you cancel.

@paulaerizanu Is the English version of the cookbook available in Chisinau? I expect to be there shortly. Or best to order online?

[Uncornered Market - Dan & Audrey @umarket]

@rbphilip Yes, that would be a good start.

"Maui is one of the 'scariest opportunities for gentrification' that she’s seen because of 'the very high land values & intense level of trauma & people who are unscrupulous who will come in to try to take advantage of that.'"

So sad, yet predictable. Tourism will do its share.

[Fast Co. Impact @FastCoImpact]

One expert predicted developers and investors will research who has mortgages and start cold-calling Maui residents. “You won’t be able to go to a grocery store without a flyer attached to your car,” she said. https://t.co/6p5qGGkJ7G

@rbphilip @travelstustring There’s lots of potential for things to go wrong, eg, those newly built homes built by outsiders to go towards Airbnb/vacation rentals/co-living spaces vs places for residents, pushing out people who called the place home for decades/generations & taking away that local heritage

[Andrew Ahern @AndrewsonEarth]

Some GOOD Breaking News: Ecuador votes to halt oil drilling in a biodiversity hotspot!!

"About six in 10 Ecuadorians rejected the oil exploration in the Block 44 area, situated within Yasuní national park, one of the world’s most biodiverse regions." https://t.co/xanPNnG0uv

@andrewmhickey Really sorry to hear this. I know how close you are with your mother.

[Uncornered Market - Dan & Audrey @umarket]

@velvetescape Indeed. An end of an era when social networks were actually social and often led to developing real connections and meeting people IRL.

I've heard Threads has some elements of the social part, but as we're in Europe it doesn't work. I can see conversations, but can't interact🤷‍♀️

[Uncornered Market - Dan & Audrey @umarket]

Good 🧵on reasons to be a cautious optimist even in the face of increasingly bad climate change data.

This resonates.

After Berlin’s supposed lioness debacle last week, one needs to beware of all types of wild animals.
