>>510290817I hitchiked there, and there was areas where was difficult to get car to pick up, and walked some distances by foot.
In countryside, in places where gypsies live, it looks like from videos of slums in India. Old, non-maintained houses, shacks built by various trash found lying around. Trash laying around.
Mostly was left alone, and they did their own business and did not care about me at all. Besides, one incident with beggar (in a city), there was no bad experience with gypsies there. For me.
So on your question:
>surely they can't be a nuissance in the countryside?For me, they were not. But they were present in a countryside. Have no idea what is experience of their neighbors, who live there long term. Are there some stealing shenanigans or not.
But from travelers perspective, while I was there, have no issues with gypsies in countryside.
