Wow , I'm bulgarian but never went to the Belogradchiks rocks and now when I saw your lovely footage from there for sure that's gonna be a destination for the spring. Thank you and have fun in Bulgaria !
Amaziiiiing!!!!Yeah,definitely one of the best days.The views of the rocks gave me goosebumps.I will play your video in my English class today, my students will freak out :-)
It is just to practise their listening comprehension.I make them questions about what you say to see if they understand you.We spoke about travelling and favourite places to visit yesterday :-)
Speaking of mountains and views, next time visit Shipka and Buzludzha (a flying saucer-shaped building). They are close to each other, situated amid the Balkan mountain range. Really cool, check them out! Also Etara, which is an ethnographic open-city museum and nearby old capital of Veliko Tarnovo. And you are welcome to Bulgaria anytime!
I had heard that Bulgaria was actually a fairly common travel destination, but you are right, I don't know of many vloggers who have been there. We loved it! /J
What makes all your trips so epic is your attitude guys. You are always so positive. Come back to Bulgaria anytime. I'd be happy to help you around too!
this is so awesomeee!!! Great job with those drone shots! really cool! I started watching your channel recently and i like the videos! keep traveling & enjoying guys!
Ash was looking absolutely gorgeous! Aerial shots equally fantastic. Rocks looked quite dangerous. Ash was standing precariously on the edge. A totally engrossing video.
This was SO EPIC!!!!! I am Bulgarian myself, lived there for first half of my life and even I didn't know this place existed there. Great job for discovering these epic sights!
Love your positive attitude, guys! I hope the ATM issue in Sofia wasn't too stressful. Came upon your channel via your BG videos, but definitely checking out your other travels, as soon as I get some free time. Stay happy and stay on the road!
My mom and dad are from Belogradchik .. it's very beautiful .. well Bulgaria is beautiful and i hope you was having so much good time here :)) Супер сте ! :)
It is amazing place . Im Bulgarian from Plovdiv - the oldest living city in Europa , im very proud . ....you want to come ? Im looking for GOOD GIRL ?? I live in Canada for many years ...im not happy here .
Thank you for the high quality informative fun videos. Learning with you is fun, you are good teachers. Several Bulgarians I have talked to tried to change my negative impression of Bulgaria and now you have changed my impression to positive, thanks for that. I have been wavering on increasing my patron amount. This video convinced me, so I have quit being cheap and doubled my patreon amount. Finally, when you get back to the states, take a break. One vlog a week while you are recharging your batteries is plenty. Get back to where you were mentally and physically when you took off for Iceland. Then you will be able to give us another wonderful series of travel vlogs. One more thing the new way away, makes an attention grabbing logo. So hopefully you can figure out how to compensate with SEO.
Wow! Thanks Kris! That is very generous of you! :) We don't always have ALL the facts 100% correct because we are in the process of learning too, but we like sharing what we have learned. We'll see how vlogging goes when we visit home for the holidays, but I don't anticipate needing to cut it back to once a week. As far as SEO goes, yes, it does affect it a bit, but we still show up first (in my tests) when you search for The Way Away on YT. /J
Thank you for showing up to the world this beautiful places of my country! I'm proud to be bulgarian! Next time when you are here see the "Krushuna waterfalls".
Ryan Unger you got to go to a different part in the country like the mountains "Pirin", "Rhodopes", "Old bulgarian mountain", "Rila" keep in mind the country is around 60% mountain areas so there are amazing places, there is a video on youtube named "geography now Bulgaria" to get to know the physical geography ;)
Ash and Josh, you didn't promise too much. What an amazing place. Bulgaria is considered as the poorest country inside the EU and the EU put a lot of money in this country to improve infrastructure and genarally the living standard. But it looks like, that is you benefit now, just a few tourists, normal down to earth people, good traditional food and cheap prices. BTW, the best places are always, when you have to walk/hike/climb and most of the people these days consider it as unsafe (which is absolutely not the case), because people are to lazy to do something to get something. I am very happy for you that you went to Bulgaria, which is really not the first place to think about when it comes to holidays. But you made the perfect desicion and your trip moved to higher level of exploring Europe, very well done and many thanks. Michael.
Thanks Michael, I loved that it was a little bit dangerous. I dislike it when everything is fenced off and safe. If we wanted to, we could have climbed right up to the top of those rock towers and no-one would have stopped us! There weren't even signs saying not to! /J
Josh, yes, that's maybe a new experience for you, when you compare it with the US, but "no risk, no fun" hahaha. But we call that common sense and you have for sure a kind of self responsibility, which is nowadays vanishing due to the exeggarated safety culture. I would love to go with you one time to the Alps, that you could experience how it is to be not 100% safe. That means not that you are not safe, but unforseen things can happen and everybody must be good equiped and self responsible and for sure there are everywhere rescue teams and helicopters, if something bad happens. One of the greatest mountaineers said:"If you make the mountains safe, there is no need to go there anymore", and he is right. There are tons of historical places, castles and adventures, but as I told you, to get something there, you must do something, means little hiking and/or a little climbing (but not really dangerious). In return, you will get some amazing (self-)experiences you will never forget. Anyway, you are doing things already, which are for sure considered as unsafe in the US, but it is not and I am hoping to see many more videos about your adventures in the future. Oh, I forgot, yesterdays in the news they said, starting in 2017, there will be a free Interrail Ticket (Train ticket for whole EU) for all EU-Citizens when they get the age of 18. What a great idea.
Polyboy70 Bulgaria is one of the most visited countries in Europe since many years so its not exactly empty of tourists as you think it is. The summer season which is from May to September had more tourists than the whole population of the country and hotels were booked out. Its hardly a country thats off the beaten path, maybe in 1996 it was.
Ясен Събев: I am sure that you are right when you speak about the coast line of the black sea, but at the Eurostat statistics (only EU members considered) for "nights spend by residents and non residents at tourist accomodation establishments per inhabitants" Bulgaria is ranked 21 of 28 and at the statistik for "nights spend at tourist accomodation establishments" it is ranked 13 of 28. So, I think, I haven't been so wrong with my estimation. Anyway, Bulgaria is for sure a beautiful country and I hope many more tourists will go there to have wonderful experiences. I hope i will have the chance to go there either.
Polyboy70 no this is something old youve read. For 2015 Bulgaria ranks 10th in the EU in terms of overnight stays. Listen to me Im the one getting tired of walking in the center of Sofia and always seeing hordes of tourists wishing to hear Bulgarian language spoken but no... Which is in most parts good but still to not be able to speak your language in your own country is sometimes weird.
You remind me when I went home to Bulgaria in July and as well I went to visit Belogradchik and the rocks and for the first time we've seen the new cave too. :) :)
hello there, it is nice to find your travel vlog. I am travelling to Sofia in April for a dance festival. I once saw a video of a couple dancing on a beautiful promenade or parapet, overlooking a beautiful valley with city below - which I thought was maybe Sofia - and it looked like there was a café on the promenade - it was hard to tell because the camera angle was from above the promenade - I am wondering if you came across such a place during your travels in Bulgaria - overlooking Sofia? Thank you for sharing your travels - - my name is Suzanne Manvell.
Hi Guys, really enjoyable video, I'm surprised how lovely Bulgaria is. PS. I like your Christmas Pic, you both look super cool, I did leave a comment but I cant see it now.
The man from 05:37 said that you take photos (or videos, it depends) of absolutely everything. I'm just thinking... "Because they are traveling vloggers maybe?" 😂😂 PS. It was an amazing video, I'm glad you enjoyed being in Bulgaria. 😊☺
I got my postcard from Monenegro! Yeah! Ash, someone wrote a whole novel on this tiny card, do you never sleep? Thanks so much. Caution: Way Away written with a Delta looks cool, but the search engine now does not find your vlogs using the "real name". Ash, seeing you standing on top of this mountain/castle made me feel so dizzy I could hardly watch it. I usually sh*t my pants if I have to look deep down from a mountain or tower... Josh, in the cave you saw stalagmites and stalactite. There is an adult aide-moire which kind (up or down) is what: (Ash, read something else!): The hanging ones are the tits... ouch.
Hey Thomas! Yeah I knew it wouldn't show up immediately for search with the delta symbol but it's an experiment to see if tag SEO can overcome that. It looks cool. :p And the amount of people searching for The Way Away is VERY low. Plus you can still do th-cam.com/users/thewayaway if you want to share w/a friend. We always said Stalactite because it had to hold on tight. 😂
Well, second try to convince you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_follows_function "The evolution of culture marches with the elimination of ornament from useful objects" "Adolf Loos (1870 - 1933) Yes, I can be a pain in the ass :)
10:25 nice to hear it about my country!!
+Magdalena Dimitrova Dimitrova ☺️
Wow , I'm bulgarian but never went to the Belogradchiks rocks and now when I saw your lovely footage from there for sure that's gonna be a destination for the spring. Thank you and have fun in Bulgaria !
Its amazing there:) I'm so glad we could show you a fun new place you haven't been. -Ash
Amaziiiiing!!!!Yeah,definitely one of the best days.The views of the rocks gave me goosebumps.I will play your video in my English class today, my students will freak out :-)
😍 Hi Ana's class! I'm not sure what our video has to do with English class, but thank you! haha. /J
It is just to practise their listening comprehension.I make them questions about what you say to see if they understand you.We spoke about travelling and favourite places to visit yesterday :-)
Ah ha. Thats smart! I wonder how clearly I talk now though. I find that I often slur my words after living in LA for 5 years. /J
They understood both of you quite well.Hope a lot of them become your fans too :-)
Speaking of mountains and views, next time visit Shipka and Buzludzha (a flying saucer-shaped building). They are close to each other, situated amid the Balkan mountain range. Really cool, check them out! Also Etara, which is an ethnographic open-city museum and nearby old capital of Veliko Tarnovo.
And you are welcome to Bulgaria anytime!
What a cool adventure day! I've never seen one of the travel bloggers I follow go to Bulgaria so loving this new perspective!
I had heard that Bulgaria was actually a fairly common travel destination, but you are right, I don't know of many vloggers who have been there. We loved it! /J
This looked like such a magical day!!! Ahhh I loved this vlog!
Thanks Tara, it really was special. :) /J
you are very welcome :D
What makes all your trips so epic is your attitude guys. You are always so positive. Come back to Bulgaria anytime. I'd be happy to help you around too!
this is so awesomeee!!! Great job with those drone shots! really cool! I started watching your channel recently and i like the videos! keep traveling & enjoying guys!
AMAZING footage guys!! That fortress looks incredible 😀
Seriously, I think Ash said it right. Like something out of Dr. Seuss. /J
WΔY ΔWΔY Yes!! Now I want to road trip around Bulgaria haha.
Amazing video guys! Lots of love from Pernik, Bulgaria
Thank you for watching. We had a blast and are so excited for whats to come in 2017! -Ash
WΔY ΔWΔY I can't wait 🙌🏽
Thanks for the great content. I'm Bulgarian and I love seeing foreign people love my home country as much as I do.
Yay! Thanks for watching! We loved it there and it was so beautiful. Would love to come back sometime. /J
Ash was looking absolutely gorgeous! Aerial shots equally fantastic. Rocks looked quite dangerous. Ash was standing precariously on the edge. A totally engrossing video.
It's only dangerous if you fall ;) Haha. But it was certainly beautiful! /J
This was SO EPIC!!!!! I am Bulgarian myself, lived there for first half of my life and even I didn't know this place existed there. Great job for discovering these epic sights!
It's very evident that this is a mature mountain range - lots of wind erosion. Gives it a real classic view like the Vosges in eastern France.
These rock formations began to form about 35 million years ago.
Amazing footage, nice job.
:) Thanks Martin. /J
I can die happy now after seeing that drone footage. 😍
Fa real, that was some otherworldly 'ish /J
Nice to hear things like that for my country from foreigners! Thank you!
You're welcome!!:)We really enjoyed ourselves. -Ash
Loved all of your videos! You show my country and the beautiful places in it in very interesting way. Hope you guys liked the trip to Bulgaria.
Love your positive attitude, guys! I hope the ATM issue in Sofia wasn't too stressful. Came upon your channel via your BG videos, but definitely checking out your other travels, as soon as I get some free time. Stay happy and stay on the road!
+Boyan Dobrev Welcome to #Wayfam. :) Its so cool how you have found our channel and enjoy our videos enough to watch more. Are you from BG? -Ash
Hey Ash, BG originally, but been in the U.S. for over a decade now. Currently - NYC based.

WΔY ΔWΔY I am surprised how many foreigners are visiting my country. :) Bulgaria is small but beautiful. :)

Yeah the haze never quite lifted and it looked so cool all day. /J

I used as a search string on youtube "Europe travel" because I did not know about the way away when I did the search.

Thanks for the advice. I love waterfalls.:) -Ash
FYI: The old guy on 5:30 was saying: Picturing here, Picturing there they were picturing everything.
City vs Old country people :)
What is the name of the fortress ? It's so beautiful I want to go there when I'm going to travel, to make pictures and stuff 😍😍
I'm pretty sure it's just Belogradchik Fortress... or at least that's how we found it with google. /J
Guys! How beautiful! This looks freaking amazing! Now, I wonder if there is any good climbing around there :)
Naw, climbing sucked. You would have hated it. /J

Welcome to my home Bulgaria.
The man from 05:37 said that you take photos (or videos, it depends) of absolutely everything. I'm just thinking... "Because they are traveling vloggers maybe?" 😂😂 PS. It was an amazing video, I'm glad you enjoyed being in Bulgaria. 😊☺
Haha, I was pretty sure that's what he said there. Good to confirm my suspicions were right. Thats why I left it in the video. :p /J
It looks like Sedona, AZ.
Guys you should visit Bulgaria again. There are plenty of stuff more to be seen :)
You're right. We need to go back. -Ash
Well if you someday do, you are more than welcome :P
PS: I can show you some stuff around my home town Gabrovo =]
The delta sign is Greek, not Cyrillic.
What's the difference between Bologradchik and Belgrade
stunning drone footage :)
Thank you! /J
trippy music!
It makes me wanna dance.:) -Ash
EPIC is right. This isn't the first clip of yours that befits such description and won't be the last.
Yes, I noticed the tweak of the name...cool!
Thanks Scott! Yeah I thought I'd try messing with the name to make it "cool". We'll see. :) /J
Should have gone to Magura cave

Hi George, we put each song title in the description, but it's Origine by AWA (soundcloud.com/awa-music/awa-origine-1)
