They didn't have time to explore most of it, although they have done a great job . If you are in Europe, Bulgaria should be easily reachable. It's nice in our part of the world, and I mean not only Bulgaria but also our neighbors in Balkans. And you'll be surprised how affordable is it.

Glad you loved my city and country, guys! 🇧🇬 Hope you can try more food the next time. Beside the meat dishes we also have many tasty salads, vegan 'postni sarmi', stuffed peppers or tomatoes, potato dishes etc. There's literally a day in the year where all country goes vegan (Christmas Eve) so we have created many tasty vegan dishes for the occasion. ✨

Vitoshka is shopping heaven! LOL I moved to Bulgaria from the US 2 years ago and I just LOVE it! My wife and I bought a 100 yr old village home and have been remodeling since. There are still so many places we've not visited! A truly beautiful country with beautiful people. BRAVO! I'm happy you had the opportunity to visit and even happier that you are calling attention to this part of the world!

I photographer Sofia Pride and I searched through my RAW footage for 1 hour, but no photos of you, idk how I missed you two.. ICONIC.

Hej hej! I found you accidentally because I am researching Sweden, because we are moving there with my family and you have just 1 video in Sweden. I watched it, but I didn't subscribe because I want content mostly about Swe or in Swedish, but then the algorithm suggested your video of Bulgaria Plovdiv (my home town) and I recognised you guys and now I have to sub, because I actually started liking you over the course of the 2 BG videos. You said nice things about BG and are trying to promote the good about it. One thing I'd like is for you to make more videos in Sweden, so we can see more of it. Swe is amazing country and I'm so glad to be moving there even without ever setting foot in it, I am so excited to travel around it and be in nature! Tack så jättemycket for being awesome! 🌲🦌🌈😇

I am so happy to see people exploring the natural beauty of Bulgaria. It is very special and I am glad that there are people that explore the country beyond Sunny Beach... Which by the way is one of the worst places to visit in the country. The tourists get so drunk that they make a big mess in the city, have s* on the beach, or do illegal substances.... And what we are known is that place, where only cheap tourists go because of the alcohol and fun. Thank you for showing the other side!
