🇧🇬 THIS is SOFIA? | VITOSHA Mountain & DRAGALEVTSI Monastery! | Travel Bulgaria 2022

- 🇧🇬 SOFIA, BULGARIA - Welcome to a new country! My final few videos of 2022 are coming from Bulgaria! We’re starting off in Sofia at Vitosha Mountain to the south of the city. Dragalevtsi, an Orthodox Monastery, dates back to the 14th century and is home to many cats! There's also the abandoned Dragalevtsi ski lift! The Autumn scenery provides an amazing backdrop for a simple climb into the mountains!
If you’re new, I’m British/Polish, I’ve been travelling full-time for 6 years and will be moving on to different things very soon (hence these are my final few videos). I’ve spent a lot of time in the Balkans, particularly Serbia. I’m not one of these UA-camrs who portrays a picture perfect view of everything. Expect swearing and none of this ‘shocked’ bullshit. I’ll see you next time in Buzludzha!

🇬🇧 Welcome to Sofia! There are only going to be a couple of videos from Bulgaria before my final one in a few weeks! (I am moving on to different things for the next year!). Subtitles are available in Bulgarian and many languages (cyrillic alphabet translations aren't always accurate, so apologies!). There are also timestamps in the description, so if you don't give a shit about me and my depression storyline you can skip to the next bit. Best Regards! See you in Buzludzha next time!
🇧🇬 Добре дошли в София! Ще има само няколко видеа от България преди последното ми след няколко седмици! (Преминавам към различни неща за следващата година!). Предлагат се субтитри на български и много езици (преводите на кирилица не винаги са точни, така че се извиняваме!). В описанието има и времеви клейма, така че ако не ви пука за мен и моята история за депресията, можете да преминете към следващата част. С Най-Добри Пожелания! До следващия път на Бузлуджа!
Good day , David/ What a lovely visit to the woods in Sofia, Bulgaria. Thank you very much for this inspiring journey you have shared with us. You really cheered me up today. I'm 83 and home bound now, so I am very much appreciating visiting the visits with you in nature. It looks very beautiful and peaceful there. What fantastic views. Thank you so much. You have cheered me up very much today. Purrr. Your videos are very special to me. I don't watch the travel youtube videos very much, but I enjoy watching yours. You share yourself as you are and that is very encouraging for me. I admire your courage in so many ways. Thank you, David, for being you and giving to us out here. I will continue tuning into see your nest videos, for as long as you want to keep making them and as long as I am still here. Hugs from the U.S. in the Americas.
David, I love your journeys through nature. Thank you!
You inspire David.!!!!
No idea how but gracias! jaja
My dude, you are inspiring. I can't really find anyone as genuine as you on UA-cam and that's inspiring in itself (not to mention the fact that you've lived a life most people only dream of). It's easy to get caught up in the Instagram/living-for-likes bullshit and I feel you are the anti-whatever version of that. Just being yourself is the best thing to offer the world. (*UA-cam stranger steps down from soapbox)
Thanks again David for an excellent video enjoy...
Thanks man!
Thanks for the beautiful filming as usual. Never désappointed 😊
Thanks Sabine! Just tried to go to Buzludzha but after waiting for an hour I found out the train had left from a different platform with no announcement so I'm going to have to reschedule
@@davidostrowski679 crap!!! Please persist!! The place is just amazing, building, site…
It’s therapeutic to spend time in nature. Beautiful surroundings and the cats are adorable! Going outside, being physically active, getting out of our heads, and focusing on other things besides the thoughts, worries, and uncertainties that we tend to dwell on, is vital. Very well done video! Am glad you came out of the forest. 🍁❤️
Yes! Physical activity is the answer to everything!
"A small group of bears." LMFAO. You are too funny. Nice to see you enjoying yourself and getting your mojo back.
To the contrary, you are quite inspiring David
I have no idea how but thanks!
@@davidostrowski679 you as a person , your personality - you mate, your amazing!
Yoo! top ~have a good day!
Thanks! You too!
Thank you for giving us a little of your happy-day cats and church and woods. Fall is so glorious. Someday they'll be overrun with tourists from Mumbai. But then climb that outcrop - so beautifully shot - in spring. Like that German Romantic painting. You appreciate all seasons. For us to look forward to your voice is a lot to accomplish. Suicide is out with the trash. I don't totally take refuge in the cozy. Somehow my mind is intact. But no more reason to be ashamed of cozy than saying "hello" to a cat. Sometimes when they say it's always good to see you they mean it.
Saying hello to cats always works!
Amazing city. This is the best Travel VLOG i have seen on Sofia.
haha thanks man
❣️You are amazing, David. Your videos are magical and we appreciate all your efforts in sharing breathtaking views! Keep on with your great work! 👍🥰👍
Nice find! just discovered your channel!
You need to check out all his videos. They're very insightful.
Simply Fantastic video,...love the aerial views and the majestic woods...Thank you David for once again sharing another of your adventures....
Gracias Maria! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey friend. I really loved the drone shots in this one. So beautiful. It makes me happy that you are going into the woods to come out of the woods.... I love your honesty and real videos. Can't wait for you to get back on my continent so you can miss all the museums along the way. x Oh, and you are quite inspiring and not boring at all. :)
YOU MISSED IT. A bit like how subscribers miss my videos because UA-cam doesn't notify them BRILLLIENT
@@davidostrowski679 ok I’m dumb. Yes I got it since I came back and read my comment. 🤦🏼♀️
Lovely video! You just inspired me to get out, for a long walk tomorrow. I think I'll do a George Michael, go "OUTSIDE" and trek up to Hampstead Heath 🤣👍
haha watch out on Hampstead Heath lol
The "cable car", i.e. the chair-lift is not working since 2017 after a technical failure. It was too old to operate and maintain, built in 1965...
Well done. I’m sorry you hate Sofia, but you did a nice job with Vitosha. Almost finished! 🎉
Thank the lord! I guess I just don't jel with Sofia... yet!
Whatever you do don't listen to Guantanamera too much on your way out of the woods.
"Who am I without this?" Excellent. Keep asking yourself that. That question changed my life a couple of years ago. But..."enough of that bullshit". 🤣 Those autumnal colours though! The benches made me laugh. Someone could take a nasty tumble off one of those. Appt if you're feeling depressed. Love this. Love the drone shots, love the cats, and love that you're embracing the next stage of your journey. Now, did I hear, "next video - brutalism and ex-communist building"?! Bring it on, baby! Thanks David. ❤
15:30 Must be people named Dave/David who are English teachers who have the same thoughts lol.
Classic. I must message you about the current state of things. I found an amazing woman on Instagram basically joking about 'English Teachers on Instagram'. Time for a dramatic post about 'overcoming adversity' or whatever which no one will read when someone just wants to leave Yandex!
Cyrilic alphabeth is created in bulgaria by monk brothers cyril and methodius in the 9th century but is financed by our king boris the first he gave 2 milion lambs for making pages and books in the new alphabeth one lamb gives four pages😀...there were many different alphabeths arround the world but they didnt survive because there were not many books writen in them and an alphabeth without books is dead....now 250 million people use it from central europe to vladivostok 💪
Interesting to see, unfortunately more like long tourist-selfie here, sorry....
What's a long tourist selfie? Let me guess I'm not allowed to be on camera in my own video despite most of the video being b-roll and drone shots? That's what UA-cam travel videos are...
love the intro reminds me of monsters inc
