Safety
Bulgaria is generally a safe destination for solo female travelers. During the day, walking around is considered safe, as the streets are well lit and people are out walking late into the evening. However, it's advisable to travel in a group when going out to bars and clubs or staying out late at night for added safety and peace of mind.
My Favorite Memories
Singing karaoke at a karaoke bar in Sofia with a group of colleagues from all around the Balkan countries.
Walking amongst the hundreds of frescoes covering Rila Monastery, and then becoming the unofficial photographer for the many people who asked for a photo.
Meeting 2 new friends on a group tour of Plovidv who invited me to lunch.
