We Booked A Budget Ski Trip to Eastern Europe (worth it?)

Today we're back in our 88th country, the beautiful and highly underrated country of Bulgaria! We traveled to Bulgaria as part of our Southeastern Europe trip in June 2022 (also visited Romania and Moldova) and now we're back for a very different kind of adventure - hitting the slopes😎⛷️ Neither of us have skied in over a decade, so we weren't quite sure what to expect. Also, most people don't know that Bulgaria has skiing, or even mountains at all, so we're so excited to share our experience from our 3 days in Bansko! ---------------------------------- We’re Oskar🧔🏻 and Dan👱🏻‍♂️, and we believe that anyone regardless of who they are deserves to live their dreams! For the past nine years, we’ve continued pushing boundaries by traveling and living all across the world, including places like Uganda, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia. In 2022, we reached a huge milestone by visiting 100 countries and we’re now on a mission to keep sharing our journey and hopefully make the world a little more open, compassionate, and peaceful along the way❤️ Thank you for being a part of the journey! ---------------------------------- - Instagram: www.instagram.com/oskaranddan - Music: http://share.epidemicsound.com/nqD7H ---------------------------------- Bulgaria was our 88th country🌍 We flew into the capital Sofia and spent the night before driving down to Bansko ski resort in our rental car. There are also buses available, but we always appreciate the flexibility of having a car. The drive takes around 2 hours and takes you past Rila National Park, which we visited and hiked in on our last visit in 2022. On our previous trip, we also visited Plovdiv, which was probably our favorite stop in Bulgaria! Thank you for watching!🙏😍 0:00 Intro 0:32 Arriving in Sofia 1:26 WE'RE BACK!
