OVERNIGHT TRAIN TURKEY TO BULGARIA: Alone For My Birthday in Veliko Tarnovo

hi, i want to move to Bulgaria, and start a business but i'm worried about the local mafia ?

Have lived in Bulgaria 7 years but never been to Veliko Tarnovo. Looks a place worth a visit. One memory I have of a train journey from Sofia to Yambol was sitting in one of the compartments which was empty, but made the cardinal sin of sitting in wrong seat number. As it was empty I thought I would take a window seat, until ticket inspector dressed like a military soldier arrived to check ticket and ordered me back to my proper seat by sliding door. The compartment remained empty for entire journey. Great video though. Lol

[@RoxanneTaylorMedia]

Haha wow yes they like to stick by the rules, don't they :)

[@susanhill8332]

I could hear the entire video very well indeed. Everyone is entitled to voice there opinion. But found several comments extremely rude. Absolutely uncalled for. Easier and friendlier to voice any criticism with politeness. Can't wait to see your next destination.

Lovely. Actually to spent this special day in a city of Veliko Turnovo (Great Turnovo) Is amazing, because this city is full of historical energy from the old Bulgarian Kingdom.

[@ЯнкоЯнков-г9ц]

Empire not kingdom

[@CaitlinBloodyMary]

I loved watching this! I really enjoyed the style and you're editing was so tight and on point! That monastery looked absolutely stunning. I'm not one for traveling, let alone solo traveling, but I did once take off to Brasilia for 2 days solo during my trip to Brazil. Obviously, it was 'Caitlin' style, so I *was* staying in a 5 star hotel BUT once I was out exploring on my own it was one hell of an experience! Terrifying and beautiful in equal proportions. No map, no phone, no power of language, just a girl with a camera looking at Oscar Neimeyer's modernist architecture. Your walk back from the monastery reminded me of when I got completely lost and ended up in the middle of nowhere, watching snakes slither across the dusty, deserted road and wondering if I was going to die out there. Spoiler alert - I didn't. Someone in a car stopped to help me but I couldn't understand his Portuguese, and he definitely couldn't understand my pathetic attempt to speak it, and obviously, I was reluctant to hop in his car, despite his friendly disposition! In the end, like an oasis mirage, I spotted a little restaurant near a man-made lake and someone called me a cab back to the center of the city. My biggest takeaway from the entire experience was just how important architecture as an art form was to me. The perfect form of concrete and glass can soothe me, make me brave. I would love to see more of this long-form, immersive style of Vlog from you! Happy birthday for last year, this year, next year and every year you bloody stunner.

[@gocrazysirg]

Very good content. And I love your voice. Very relaxing and your not screaming in the camera like a lot of vloggers, this is honestly my dream. Travel and vlog, I’m so much more happier when I’m exploring new beautiful places

I'm a "people person", but I also have no problem being alone. In fact, around birthday time when everyone wants to rope me in to some celebratory event, I long to be alone and celebrating on my own. I still love the company of others, but I'm often happier by myself. While I've not made it to Vekiko Tarnovo, Bulgaria has become a favorite destination. Glad all worked out well for you during your stay.

Be careful in your travels. A little scary a few times there. Happy Birthday. But don't take those people's criticisms seriously. It's none of their business if you prefer solitude or company.

@@RoxanneTaylorMedia It's not so much the "style". You can play death metal as far as I'm concerned 😎, but the volume ratio between the background music and your voice.

This is the first video of yours I watched. Will check some of the other ones. Cheers..

@@RoxanneTaylorMedia If I listen to this video without headphones on I can hear about 50% of it. When you're editing your video if you can't hear yourself speak, the music is too loud. It's a common KZbinr mistake and I'm sure you've fixed it in videos later.

[@ГерганаТрифонова-щ7ы]

I think it's always a very good idea to spend your birthday alone and in such a beautiful town. :) I also do this from time to time and it helps me to "refresh" myself. :) There are many beautiful, interesting and historical places in Bulgaria and Veliko Tarnovo is definitely the right spot! If the tourist crowd doesn't bothers you, I recomend you to come again on sept. 22, when we celebrate the Independancy of Bulgaria - one of our biggest national days. The biggest celebrations happen in Veliko Tarnovo, because it was the third capital of Bulgaria during the Second bulgarian kingdom, and nowadays the city is officialy the historical and spiritual capital of the country. Visit this magnificent place once again, you won't be sorry!

[@RoxanneTaylorMedia]

I agree, it's so refreshing! Wow that's so interesting because I was in Sofia on that day and didn't notice any celebrations there. I will keep this in mind for Veliko Tarnovo for another year :)

Back in 1984 I got a ride from Istanbul to Belgrade with a British truck driver. Back then you needed a proper visa to visit East Bloc countries, except if you were just passing through you could get a one day transit visa, which is what I did. Then it seemed like Bulgaria was a generation behind the west, but that isn't necessarily bad. Of course, now so much has changed and in some ways it's like the future compared to the U.S. You did a nice job here showing your visit to VT. I'll check out more.

I love it when KZbin creators "randomly" select places to visit that conveniently turn out to be some of the most historic places in the world. We were passing by VT a few years ago and stopped for a short walk around town. I really had to pee, so naturally I walked into the old parliament building where the independence of the state was proclaimed (or something like that) and the lady at the front desk was kind enough to let me use their bathroom. It was an old Soviet style toilet where you have to squat if you have to take a dump, or if you have to pee you simply stay on your feet and aim at a tiny hole on the floor. Finally, as I flushed the damn thing, a mighty tsunami covered the entire stall floor and soaked my feet in piss and water. It was an experience I knew I'd share with the world one day. If you ever visit VT, go to the men's toilet at the parliament building. And, don't forget to flush.

I see that you stayed in the old part of Veliko Turnovo, great choice. :) I usually stay few streets up in Slavianska Dusha, they have great view and spacious rooms, but parking can be a pain in the ass there because you need good skills in order to park on that side of the hill. I would also advice you to visit Gabrovo and Tryavna next time you visit the old capital (Veliko Turnovo), since they are close to each other and you will love them as much as Veliko Turnovo. Shtasliveca which is located in the center of the town and you visited in the video is one of the best restaurants in the region. They also have seasonal menu so its always great to visit during different seasons. :) I finished my master degree of tourism in Veliko Turnovo so its a town close to my heart. :)

@@RoxanneTaylorMedia Don't worry there are lots of tourists all the time that try to walk there to the monastery from Turnovo not just back like you did on the highway. A lot of them sometimes in groups of 4 or more don't realize how cheap a taxi is here. Anyway have good one! From an X kiwi.

Another doubt? Does Istanbul Sofia train goes through velika tarnovo or its a link train to Bucharest!

[@ilkoiliev-oz5ui]

Veliko Tarnovo is central north Bulgaria after that the train pass the Danube at Ruse and reach Bucharest .Sofia is in west Bulgaria and on the road to Belgrade from Istanbul .
