In this Bulgaria vlog, we hike Seven Rila Lakes in Rila National Park. We also visit Rila Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Along the journey, we enjoy the beautiful views of Bulgaria’s highest mountain range and experience some of the best things to do and see in Bulgaria.
The mountains and scenery in Bulgaria were a surprise! We will keep saying it...Bulgaria is an underrated country! This Eastern European country doesn't get much attention, but we think it should! The people are incredibly kind and welcoming.

🧭 ABOUT US
Hi! We are Helen and Tim. We are adventure travelers that saved up some money to travel full-time in Jan 2023. We are based in Portland, Oregon, and have been together for over 10+ years and share a love for the great outdoors through hiking, camping, skiing, and more! We grew up in Texas (Helen) & Pennsylvania (Tim).
Our goal is to hike the world one mountain at a time. We love to inspire people to get outdoors no matter if the adventure is big or small. Post-hike, we enjoy the local flavors and foods, and a cold drink (beer for Tim and kombucha for Helen).
There is so much in the world to see, even if it is in our own backyards. We started filming our adventures in the PNW and that has evolved into filming our international travels.
Thanks so much for watching! We will see you on the next trail! 🥾
