This European Country Doesn’t Really Exist! – TRANSNISTRIA
Welcome back to the channel!
Today we visit a country that isn’t really a country, well it is a country but an unrecognised one! Its real name is the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, more commonly known as Transnistria!
We’re taking a trip to Transnistria because it’s commonly referred to as a Soviet Union time capsule …. and I think we pretty much all agree that fits the bill for a pretty cool day trip!
Had a lot of fun making this video and once again just want to give a special shout out to the five Spanish guys who really made it a particularly fun day! Gracias!
Hope you all enjoy!

McAllister – Alone in Tiraspol
We had such a great day! Been a pleasure discovering Tiraspol alongside you! 😊
Looks a grim place Moldova🤣
I'm with you on the fizzy water 😂😂
Just watched. Loved this one. Great that you ran into the Spanish guys from the non sleeper sleeper train journey with Simon Wilson. Was it a bit sketchy where you got off the bus further out of the centre? Did you eat or leave the chicken?
Река Днестр на Румынском Nistru, поэтому и Transnistria! Не понимаю почему жители ПМР обожаются на это название!
Жаль ты не был у памятника Екатерины второй в парке победы! И коньяка не купил хорошего- Самый дешевый в мире)))
That was to watch. Mike & Debbie from ON CA
Really interesting video….
Loved this, great video and very informative! The canteen looked a must visit too! 😁
There’s only one John Mac
