Chisinau - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any particular mental health issues that tend to crop up at post, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter blues)?
I couldn’t say for sure. Winter is pretty cold. I really like the darkness because it makes it easier to see the stars, but if you were a sun person you may struggle with the lack of it. - Sep 2023
Moldova has a climate like Iowa, but Chisinau is actually further north, on the same latitude as northern Minnesota, so winter nights do get a bit long. It's nothing compared to Moscow or Stockholm, though, and if the winter is getting you down there are cheap direct flights to places like Istanbul, Athens, and Rome. - Apr 2019
