I Gave A Gypsy A Ride ( It ended in disaster ) 🇧🇬

🇧🇬 Bulgaria is a land nestled between sea and mountains on the southern border of Europe. Its location made it a target for invaders, however, although subjugated for 500 years, the Bulgarians never gave up their hope to one day be free again. Join me as we make our way towards one of the greatest examples of communist architecture as we explore the hidden ancient and communist past of this friendly nation on our way to...Buzludzha..

You probably wont see this but a very good friend of mine Vladimir passed away recently and it was very tragic and sudden. He was Russian/Ukrainian but moved to america in the 80's. He was a super fan of your channel and i just would like to comment this to let you know how much joy you brough to him when i showed him your channel 2-3 years ago. He always complimented on how suave your russian sounded.

The solo vids are sooo much better. Great stuff - fascinating insights, thank you

[sambado]

Mr. Bald getting back to roots. He couldn't restrain himself and his desire of adventurazing into new mosaics and Soviet stuff. And this episode was magical. We can fell your joyness and enthusiasm. Let's say you are really a British guy trapped in a Soviet soul.

This man's passive charisma buff is fucking crazy.

As a bulgarian, I am literally shocked how many foreigners in the comment section like our country. Thank you all and you are always welcome! There is so much more to see! Bald is number 1.

Best video for a long time. I love all your videos but the Soviet ones where you are alone are the best, this one is like a trip back to your first videos. Thanks for the hours of entertainment.

[Utahforrest]

This is your first video since the passing of my little brother back on March 4th. He was 25 and self-taught fluent in Russian. We used to talk about your channel and how we wanted to go to Russia together and ride the train. I shared that at his funeral and said I’ll soon go to Russia in his honor. Thanks for inspiring me and giving me something to connect with him on.

I cannot tell you how happy i am to finally see you in Bulgaria and my hometown Ruse ! Positive comments are always appreciated about such forgotten but beautiful City :)

Hello Mr.Bald, this video hits real close to home as I'm from Bulgaria, but I'm currently studying in the Netherlands. I wanted to say that I admire your fascination with slavic countries. Bulgaria and its people have been through hundreds of years of hardship, mainly under ottoman rule and soviet communism, but still we have upheld our values and traditions. The villages that you visited in this video are just a couple of the thousands that are currently in disrepair due to the population either aging and passing away or the youth moving to bigger cities like Sofia. I am really grateful that you are showing part of the lives of the people that live there, my grandfather is in a similar situation and it brings me joy knowing others from all around the world are getting to see this. The country is truly beautiful, if you take away the fact that it is being ravaged by corruption and political greed.

Nevertheless, thanks for showing Bulgaria to the millions who watch your channel! All the best from Montana, Bulgaria. Благодаря!

For anyone wondering, 20 Lev is about 11 Us dollars

Ben, I've been watching you since 50k subs and after 5 years of waiting we finally got a Bulgaria episode. The best travel YouTube channel by far, absolute stud and gent. You will have a blast in Bulgaria.НАЗДРАВЕ!

[Broomtwo]

That's so crazy to think you can just run into someone on the street, 90 years old, says "I remember Tsar Boris". We think of some things as so far in the past, but it is only one lifetime away.

[genzo]

Yay! Finally my home country. I've been subscribed since India series.

[gaabernal]

I am Mexican and Bulgaria is my fiancé's country. I've only been there once and I completely fell in love with it all. The people are wonderful and warm, the food is amazing and the landscape is more than beautiful ❤

[johnmcgarry]

Ben, you're always at your best in Eastern Europe, feels like visiting an old friend with you. Great content, thanks bro

[Gurkiratsingh.]

This was so thrilling. I admire that wherever you go you talk to the locals in their language.
Wow!!Bulgaria has so many beautiful architectures and rich sceneries. I Appreciate that you share some information about everywhere you visit. That's cool.
Fun fact, few years back your channel was recommended to us by a Bulgarian youtuber NymfyASMR. And now a few days back she shared this video with us😊, she has always brought me here.

[ESTIsLaced]

This is the type of videos I miss you doing. That’s the only reason why I subscribed so thankyou for bringing them back ❤

[Miss_X]

I absolutely love your channel. I've never seen such informative and interesting travel documentaries on mainstream channels. You have an innate ability to connect and communicate with the common folk (I'm not using common as a derisory term) and you take the viewer to the places where no travel show will dare venture. You're also extremely humble and compassionate towards the needy persons you encounter. You make people's lives just that much better by buying them a packet of cigarettes or a few bottles of beer. Often, they have nothing else to look forward to in their bleak lives. The recipients of your kindness always look as though their Christmas times have come at once. Fascinating, often heart wrenching your videos are compelling, gritty and real.
