    Hi friends :) we tried something new in this story, hope you enjoy the wild adventure 🙏
  • @YesTheory
    I found it beautiful that Gergana still hasn't asked us for the name of our youtube channel. She was just purely happy to be on an adventure with strangers. I just texted her and asked if she wanted to see the video, and it makes me happy in my heart to know that there are so many positive comments towards her and Bulgaria in this comment section <3 / Staffan
  • Please take Gregana on a bucket list trip for her. The warmth she showed you all was so heartwarming.
  • I am Mexican and my fiancé is Bulgarian. Two years ago I was there and it felt like home. The people are extremely friendly, so charming and the food is magnificent. I love Bulgaria 🇧🇬 ❤
  • For me, as a romanian, this video is a re-confirmation of how friendly and full of joy Bulgarians are! I live in UK and I can say every single bulgarian I ever meet is a great ambasador for his country! Congratulations for the video!
  • @AydeBG
    As Bulgarians we want to thank you so much for showing our homeland to the world! This video will make more for Bulgaria's reputation and tourism, than all the efforts of the bulgarian government. Enjoy life and НАЗДРАВЕ! 🇧🇬❤

    I am one of the people that left this beautiful place. One of the reasons i did that was you guys. The main thing i learned from your videos was that i needed to explore the world for a better understanding of it. After 6 years , about 30 countries visited and countless people befriended i can comfortably say there is no other place that i would want to spend the rest of my life in. Seeing this video now is just another reminder that i need to book my flight soon . You could have done a bit more research and seen a lot more of it however. I recently did a similar trip with a British guy to just show him around. Next time you want to visit , give me a ring , im willing to lend a hand. Thank you for the great content!
  • I immediately knew that this video is going to be about Bulgaria when I saw the thumbnail and the title 🥲 Still happy that it gets some global recognition! ❤️ Greetings to all Bulgarian brothers and sisters from Germany 🇧🇬🇩🇪
  • I am Greek, and my family immigrated to Bulgaria in the 1970s, fleeing from home to escape unfair persecution. Ever since, Bulgaria has welcomed us and given us a second chance in life. Here, my family flourished despite the hardships of the 1990s and early 2000s. Nowadays, this place seems to be a haven for young people, low unemployment and cheap prices. I have an international job that allows me to travel a lot, but thankfully, I always return home to Bulgaria. The people here are the nicest and most helpful I have ever met. I hope you will soon visit and explore what this diverse place has to offer. You’d be impressed! Thank you, Yes Theory, for finally showing a glimpse of this piece of heaven and, of course, for introducing us to Gergana! She is a gem!
  • I’ve lived there for almost 2 years, and I went from “where the fuck am I” to “ Bulgaria will always have a place in my heart”. The vibe is incredible, the people are extremely nice and friendly and if you go there with an open mind, you will end up meeting people with a beautiful heart and open arms. I arrived there with ideas and stereotypes about Eastern and Balkan countries, and I ended up living 2 of the most beautiful years of my life in Bulgaria. Благодаря България and see you real soon 🤍
  • @bas2137
    I've visited Bulgaria for the first time last year and not only loved it for the nature, food & adventures it offers but heck.. those people are something else! Some of the kindest people I ever came across, quite refreshing as a Dutch guy I must say!
  • I've never left the US, if shit hits the fan here in America, I'm without a doubt going to Bulgaria. I love that their traditions aren't being erased.
  • @VicktorKotev
    A Bulgarian here: Thank you for showing Bulgaria the way it actually is: a place with rich culture, worthy to explore. Yes, our politics suck and will suck for years to come, probably that’s why there’s prejudice against BG. But the country is an amazing place to visit and you have shown it very well in the video, blagodarya, guys! Your film actually made me look more positively on my own country.
  • @denizbluemusic
    I spent 3 days in Sofia a few months back. I absolutely fell in love with the city, and will definitely come back.
  • @CodeDesignLift
    I am Bulgarian , I study in Germany and i feel really death inside in germany. Always when i come back for summer in Bulgaria I feel happy and fufilled. I love the weather, the food, the nightlife and especially the nature. I will probably go back when im ready with studying .
  • @a.schmidt3096
    PSA: bedbugs are NO joke. Never sleep somewhere where there are signs of bedbugs. And if you do, make sure to wash ALL of your clothes and items in boiling water before bringing them back into your house. It’s not worth it for a video.
  • @abhx214
    When I was 19 I flew to Bulgaria by myself and stayed with friends for a month. We traveled to 9 cities and saw the most incredible parts of the country. 12 years later and it's still one of the best trips of my life. Mersi mnogo for sharing the beautiful country of Bulgaria ♥
  • @JessitoBG
    I was literally passing by a TV this morning and they were showing how you made this video about BG. I got super happy, because I 've been waiting for years for you to come and make a video about my country. Thank you for coming and having a great time! Hope someday you will return for more adventures! You are always welcome! :) P.S. I returned to Bulgaria after living in Germany and Denmark for 7 years.
