Es tan hermoso el post @NatalkaR, con fotos hermosas, creo que la disyuntiva para ver cual punto seguir es muy grande, mas teniendo en cuenta que los dos sitios son lindos, me gusto mucho proimera foto y la foto de la ardilla, creo que tienes un gran himan para los animales silvestres, suerte que tuviste que regresar antes del anochecer, sino seguro que te encontrabas con un puma o un gato montez... jajajaja.

El año entrante tratare de agendar algunos dias para hacer ese recorrido.

Mañana emprendo un viaje en auto por la patagonia Argentina, tambien en solitario unos 5000 km después compartiré como me va

un gran saludo, que estes bien 🙂 Farid.

Hey @NatalkaR,

It's great to hear that you are such an active person! I hope you will have the change to return back to the States and see the Horse Ranch Mountain. 

By the way, Musala is the highest peak but the mountain is called Rila. I have been to the 7 Rila Lakes as well and they are really beautiful. I would definitely recommend the location to a person who likes adventure and climbing. 

Check out this photo. You should add it to your bucket list. 🙂

That's great @NatalkaR, I hope i'll get to experience something similar in the US soon. It's quite unique for sure. I have so many friends there, that I must plan this trip finally 🙂

I totally agree with you @NatalkaR and share your thoughts. Whenever you go somewhere and visit a new place, a little bit of you change and you grow up wiser. For me solo trips are one of the must things we all as human beings must do - go out of our comfort zone and meet the world.

A photo that I would like to share with everyone is from one of the solo trips that I have done. This year I visited the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park also famous for the Avatar Hallelujah Mountain which is part of the national park.

I am looking to learning more and more of your solo trips and seeing the world through your eyes.

Sorry for coming so late to this amazing post @NatalkaR. I followed your adventures on Instagram, so this post was really awaited 😉

I am taking note of everything you posted, and my list of "place to visit" and "things to do" is becoming very very long.

What I learned this year, during my Post Connect Live activities, is that we need to plan no more than a park in a day, we must be able to change our plan, for completely enjoying the experience and, yes, wildlife have to be always considered (we are just guests, in there).

@MoniDi, "7 Rila lakes" is in my list too, now. I am planning a long weekend in Sofia for next year, but what I actually know is that I will have to short my list too 😞 (or maybe considering a second weekend)

Hey @NatalkaR, @ErmesT, 

I wanted to add one more natural wonder worth visiting.

The Belogradchik Rocks are a group of strangely shaped stones located in the Balkan mountains. They attract many tourists during the whole year.

Here's a photo where you can see the national landmark.

Wow, @MoniDi

Do you have a plan for Dolomites, maybe with my sister @NatalkaR?

@ErmesT another dolomites august meetup? 🙂

[ErmesT]

Who knows, maybe. August is far away, @LucioV, and Dolomites will not be the same, this year. For sure I want to go there with @AntonellaGr at the end of the springtime, for documenting how the situation is, after the "perfect storm" that have literally erased (15 million of trees, is the actual number) a lot of woods in there.
