    Our first day exploring Bulgaria and we're blown away. Plovdiv is our base for now and we'd first heard about this place from some Digital Nomad friends. After discovering the Roman history, Ancient Theatre and Ancient Stadium of Philipopolis in todays travel vlog we can understand why!
    Plovdiv has an appeal thats difficult to put into words, but its safe to say our first taste of Bulgaria has surprised us in the best way possible.
    The Ancient Roman Stadium of Philipopolis is under the walking street of Plovdiv, something you sort of have to see to believe. For now, the vlog will have to do! Theres also a crazy Ancient Theatre that was unknown for hundreds of years!
    As digital nomads ourselves, we may find ourselves coming back to Bulgaria and spending more time in Plovdiv!

    holy shit, I nearly cried watching this. I used to live in Plovdiv for six years, and I really miss it. This place is magical - the only other city that has that incredible atmosphere is Veliko Tarnovo which I totally suggest you visit.
    My university was right beside this theatre, and I enjoyed the view every day. On one side is the academy of arts and music, on the other is Plovdiv's University biology building.
    The coffee you are drinking beer at is called Arena and it's funny you're saying the prices are low there. Right beside it is the Academy's coffee place - The Crypt, which is also slightly overpriced but cheaper - also the dude at the bar is super chill and funny.
    They put the booth to buy tickets in a very dumb place the last year I lived there. Arena had tables in that spot before and a fountain. It was great!
    If you want a cool place with good food and low prices, I suggest The Fire Station or Пожарната there are cheaper places but man, their food is great and at a very reasonable price.
    What you said was Old town is actually right beside the actual old town and is an area know as Kapana - Best I can translate it is The Trap - I don't know if the name should be translated though. It used to be Plovdiv's trading center for a very very long time, now it's a tourist destination and is also full of clubs, restaurants and artsy coffee places that are overpriced but worth it for the atmosphere. Kapana is also hell to drive around in.
    Another good place to check out is the Museum of Natural Sciences in Plovdiv - It's incredible after the renovations with a 3d space map, animals and minerals of all kinds, and a store for minerals at a good price if you are into that kind of shit.
    Big Plovdiv tip if you are a foreigner - never use a parked taxi - EVER. They will cheat you out of your money in a heartbeat.
    Here are some taxi numbers - 0326665, 0326103/0326188, 0326199 - always call your fucking taxis. They will usually ask you where you at and where are you going - if it's too close they may tell you to fuck off or "We don't have cars" or whatever - just be persistent.
    Never get a parked Taxi from the train station and near kapana, they lurk there and pray on tourists. If anyone takes you more than 8lv to go anywhere in Plovidiv - congrats you have been duped.
    Also, never take a taxi in Sofia unless you're dying - but that's a topic for a different discussion.
    Oh my god, I didn't intend to write for so long, sorry. I really miss Plovdiv damn it. I should go visit next week or so.

      and if you're interested in seeing something more, try Veliko Turnovo and Trakia Valley as well - the town itself is incredibly build on the steep river banks and the valley is a home for the incredible wineries and rose fields, where majority of rose oil in the world comes from. Coming in the rose petals peaking season is an experience of it's own with the weird pre-christian traditions and fests with dances in traditional clothing. I've seen it a few years back and it was something absolutely unique.

To answer your question where are the people - people generally don’t go to plovdiv in the summer so often because it’s the hottest city in bulgaria :) and besides bulgarians go to the black sea or greece or wherever during summer and the big cities that have no sea get noticably empty

    😊We have many historical places around Bulgaria... But bulgarians love their forest, lakes and sea the most(+rakiq and wine). We aren't the richest ppl in Europe but many have villas or small house in mountains or sea side. When it's summer everyone leaves the big cities. So when you try leaving Sofia at the start of the summer or a big holiday. You'd think there is an apocalypse happening or one of China's traffic jams. You can't freaking move! But at the end it's all worth it. Bulgarians are truly at peace in the mountain with rakiq 👼👌

Great vlog as always, with many of your classic little "moments' - Stacey's hand running along the vines, zooming in on an ice cold beer, the cat crammed into that tight space fast asleep, not forgetting your "moment of fame" on the stage - but hey, with your subscriptions going up and up, you guys are famous every day! :)

Your Poland series was so special to me because my Grandfather and his family immigrated to the U.S.to escape the Nazis but he died when my father was 2 and after his death my grandmother moved pretty far away so I never got the chance to really know any of the Wolski side of my family and learn more about my Polish roots, so thank you for that.

    Visit Haskovo too. Not as impressive as Plovdiv, but we have the biggest statue of the Virgin Mary in the whole world(it's in the book of Guinness), one of the highest belltowers on the Balkans(which also provides an amazing view of the whole city), our city centre is full of parks and fountains, there's also an amazing park in the northern part where you could go biking or just walking(whatever suits you). Near the city there's the Uzundzhovo village with an amazing church there, definitely worth visiting. There's also a Thracian tomb and a museum just a few kilometres from the city, so it's really worth seeing it. Oh and just a 20-minute drive west is a great spa-village, so check that one too.
