In early 2020 I booked a trip to Romania. I had been studying the language on my own for a couple of years, and wanted to have an immersive experience. The plan was to take a week-long intensive course in Romanian through Rolang School while using free time to tour Bucharest. Then in following years I would visit other places in the country, both to see them but also to get away from a city where many likely speak English to some extent as a second language. Instead, the COVID-19 pandemic put us in lockdown and I had to cancel my trip. Hopefully in the next couple of years matters will normalize so I can finally start getting to know Romania (and perhaps Moldova) first-hand. In the meantime, here's a really good video from a couple of travel bloggers that hits some of the biggest high points to be experienced.
