I HATE it when people say "It's so cheap to travel anywhere in Europe!"

I'm 20 years old and I'm from the Republic of Moldova. I think I may be the only European here who hates that sentence. Now, let me explain why. I'm not from Western Europe or Northern Europe or Central Europe. I'm from Eastern Europe. I'm not from a developed country with great wages, I'm in one of the most poor countries in Europe, with almost no infrastructure. So, while traveling from one country to another may seem cheap to you, someone like me can't afford it. I'd rather spend my money in my own country since it's cheap and I can afford it, than traveling to a country where everything is 5-6 times more expensive than in my own country. I think someone should tell this to those idiots in YouTube videos who say "It's so cheap to travel anywhere in Europe!"<br><br>Edit: Grammar<br><br>Edit #2: I'd like to thank everybody who's commented so far. I didn't expect this much feedback. I'm glad that there still are people out there who actually understand what it is to be poor, and who struggle with the same problem as I do. To those people from Western/Central/Northern Europe, who said they never thought about the fact that there are countries in this continent that are as poor as mine, I forgive you. From now on, you know. Don't be idiots anymore.
