Moldova doesn't show up on many bikepacking lists (for a reason :D). I've lived here my whole life and still hadn't seen it properly, so I packed a bag and rode from the extreme north to the south, following the Prut River and crossing the entire country. 500 km, 7,000 m of elevation gain in 6 days.
This was my first attempt at multi-day bikepacking, and I was quite surprised by how well it went. Some lessons learned, but no major problems overall, good food, nice locations, friendly people. Definitely worth doing once. I'm already looking at routes in Romania and the Balkans next.

When the war will end and I’ll live in pieces, I’ll plan the bikepacking from the opposite way – from south to north. And I think it’s also be along the Romanian border
Шикарно!
Recommend it over other destinations or was it just a fun off the beaten track trip?
