In the morning, I am leaving on train to travel to the far north of Moldova to the village of XXXXXX. As I mentioned in my last blog post, this is where I'll be living for the next two years. I've grown so close to my current host family, I hate to leave them. For now though, I will only be visiting XXXXXX for three days. Yesterday, I had to call my host partner (director of the humanitarian organization I was assigned to) to confirm that I will be arriving by train on Sunday. This was hilarious, to say the least. We have only studied romanian for four weeks, and we all had to call our non-english speaking partners. I actually think I did well. We'll see.

As for my new host family, I will only have a host mom. We were given info sheets so that we have an idea of what our new situation will be before we get there. Some of my friends received homes with hot, running water and even indoor showers and toilets. Here's the info I got:
