    Arrived in Bucharrest

    March 29 in Romania ⋅ 🌧 10 °C

    The 2026 travel season commences in Bucharest. Dubbed the "Paris of the East," this city has truly captivated us. With its blend of modernity and culture, it stands as a remarkable destination. We plan to return shortly to further explore its charms. Currently, we are en route to Bulgaria.Read more

  • On the way to Sofia

    March 30 in Bulgaria ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Today we journey from Bucharest to Bulgaria. As the route to Sofia was quite extensive, we opted for an overnight stay in Veliko Tarnovo as a brief intermission. Regrettably, the drive was not a pleasant experience. The roads were in poor condition, the scenery was unremarkable, and the traffic regulations, with numerous restrictions and peculiar police encounters, were rather odd. Tomorrow, we will proceed to Sofia..Read more

  • Sofia

    March 31 in Bulgaria ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Next Stop Sofia. Not much to recount regarding Sofia. A vital piece of information for a road trip to Sofia is the severe scarcity of parking spaces. We arrived at the hotel only to discover a complete absence of parking facilities, and any available street parking necessitates sending an SMS, exclusively possible with a Bulgarian cellphone number, or purchasing a scratch-off parking card, which is virtually impossible to acquire. Consequently, we were forced to park our vehicle 2.7 km away and take a taxi to the hotel 😵‍💫. The city itself offered nothing particularly remarkable to mention. It appears to be somewhat frozen in time, reminiscent of the past.Read more

  • Pirot Serbia

    April 1 in Serbia ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    We totally wanted to catch even a glimpse of Serbia while we were in the area. And for us, it was like night and day right after we crossed the border! We had an awesome Serbian dinner and chatted with some of the locals. We would Love to Go to Belgrad but Not possible for this time. So another Reason to come Back someday 😊Read more

  • Wellness Stop in Kasanlak

    April 2 in Bulgaria ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    So, we split our drive again and found a thermal bathing wellness hotel in Kasanlak. Honestly, these drives are super boring. There’s nothing to see on the way, and it’s even tough to find places to stop for food... So, it's pretty much just racking up kilometers on our way to the Black Sea. Will see hopefully a difference in the more touristic areas...Read more

  • Burgas Black See

    April 3 in Bulgaria ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    After another drive, we finally made it to the Black Sea! We found this super nice, new hotel right on the beach, and I got to fly my drone for the first time there. Since it's still preseason, we pretty much have the place to ourselves. We popped over to Burgas, and, well, how do I put it? It was pretty rough. A lot of the buildings looked damaged and old, and it felt a bit like stepping back into the '90s. East Style. Will Follow the Coast Up to the North back to Romania. Will wait with a summary once we saw all..Read more
