New Spanian channel “Into The Woods” sussin’ out the woods all over the world. Let’s ogg.
what is this tree lad?? whys it got no leaves?? this whole place is so putrid!! i've never seen anything like that!!
😂😂😂
If a man complains in a Forrest and there is no woman around to hear it is he still wrong
😂
🤣🤣🤣
The fun part for me as a Bulgarian is that you was having a walk in one of our parks “West Park” of Sofia if we have to be specific. We as Bulgarians like to keep our parks as natural as possible , often the park fading away into woods or rivers. Seeing you as a 2 meter tatted up guy being afraid of places i grew up at as a child is mad funny
Spot on! He's over dramatizing the video, this area isn't dangerous at all it's just a normal park.
Absolutely... But even people with his brain powers have to live and obviously being a drama queen in a regular city park is one way to do it, given the audience he has.
Nah boys dont get me wrong , these places look terrifying if you havent been there before . What i wanted to point out is the importance of the upbringing and the point of view . Im sure if i go to a similar place somewhere abroad i will be just as terrified. Gypsy slums are indeed dangerous , as well as secluded parks .
He was definitely over dramatising. Yes - the weather was perfect for a horror movie; yes - Fakulteta is a total shit hole, but he was so paranoid - even the martenitza on that tree scared him. For god’s sake - he did a convenient cashless payment a few meters before the slum 😂
I just thought the same 😂
Yo, bulgarian here, when Spanian visited a branch with a strange looking bracelet at 15:14 it is called a martenitsa. Its an ancient tradition that we wear in the beginning to end of march or until you see the first tree blossom the bracelet itself symbolises blood, conception, birth, warmth, friendship, mutual affection but mostly joy and hope, thats why when you hang it on the tree we traditionally make a wish or two.
That’s actually so good to read, I thought Sofia was violent but the comments are really saying otherwise. I wish the best for your country.
The funny fact is that Sofia is amongst the least violent capital cities in EU. It's just dirty and there are lots of poor (and unhappy) people. Hence angry people. But, I'd say there are bigger chances to get mugged in Barcelona than in Sofia.
@@stanbozhkov1338I agree
My Bulgarian friend, I'm Croatian, and I never knew this. That's beautiful. :D
surprisingly wholesome.
That “chin up bar” at the beginning of the episode is actually for cleaning your rug. You roll it up, get it out of the house, yank it over the structure and whack the crap out of it to get rid of the dust etc. At least that’s what it was used for in Poland where I grew up as a kid.
Trzepak 😆
It's used everywhere lol
I'm Scottish 🏴 I lived in Sofia for a year, honestly, some of the loveliest people on earth. Would drop a hat to help you with anything. I have a very special place in my heart for the Bulgarians. I also felt safe the whole time, and we would walk the streets at night all the time
Yes, bro! I am Bulgarian and I can proudly say Bulgaria is a safe place, people are generally friendly, even more friendly towards foreigners than to other Bulgarians sometimes. But, if you don't go that doggy areas, it's relatively safe for everyone who don't intentionally seek for problems.
A Sofia resident here - yes, the city is, as a matter of fact, surprisingly safe! I think that what shocked him was the sheer poverty, not so much the danger associated with messing with the wrong guys. I would be much more afraid of encountering big stray dogs rather than suspicious gypsies.
Granted, the mud and rain make the paranoia feeling go through the roof :D
Brave man who would live there for sure I don’t no why you would but I wouldn’t of left Scotland to go there not at all
@@qfx125 I left New Zealand and lived in Poland, Poland is safer than NZ and the people are more genuine. Don't be quick to make assumptions
@@qfx125why not? It's arguably a safer place and your money goes much further than in Scotland. And the weather and nature are way better
There is a saying in Bulgaria, “If you are afraid of bears, you shouldn’t go in the forest.” 🤣🤣🤣
What does that mean though because that just sounds like advice
@@Spally8anywhere in the world 😂
@@Spally8 couldn’t tell you what it means, but clearly Spanyos had something like it in his head to momentarily sh*t himself in the woods 🤣🤣🤣
The woods looked like the safest part
@@Huntbarternsteal shame about the bears 🐻 🤣🤣
25:25 Those chimneys are not pouring anything toxic its a Thermal power station working properly. The air in Fakulteta is poor because the people there often burn tires or fabric for heat in the winter.
Span, I have to tell you, those playgrounds in the beggining were THE BEST when we were young, most of the time they just dump you at the strange contraptions and say "do whatever, play", so you improvise on what to do. Lots of laughs we had there as children. Cheers, keep it up!
The best thing about these videos is when locals comment and expand more on what we are seeing, pretty cool to learn about any place Spanian goes to, not gonna lie.
Hats off to Spanian and the team! This channel has rapidly become my favourite, thanks for all the hard work!
There is no TEAM..it's just him & his bullet proof vest😂
Great to see him doing some research into these places to give some interesting facts
@@jonathanturner9803the bullet proof vest is his chest hair
Spanian goes for a bush walk
DOIN DOIN DOOOOIN!
Travel is the best education. Without a doubt your bravery has enlightened so many. Keep on!
I like all the videos. I live in Philadelphia PA in the USA. Our city has been struggling with homelessness, violence, and a very huge drug problem. It can be a stressful environment to live in and keep your kids safe in. I often wonder what it is like to live as a person struggling to improve in other parts of the world. Ty for sharing and exploring. These videos make me think allot about metal health and how closely linked to our housing crisis it is. Also, how important it is to have a place to go home and feel safe.
That bent bar was used for beating dust out of carpets. Beating carpets only! 😂
and its bend like that because a lot of people use it for pulling the engines out of their cars..
@@momchilmarinov7815 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That is freaking brilliant!
😂
I loved the video and laughed many times :)
The factory you mention is actually the heating plant which provides the heat for all the concrete building apartments around western Sofia`s neighborhoods. Sofia has several of these plants which support heating through the parts of Sofia during winter time. The polluted air you mention is not because if the smoke from the chimneys but because Fakulteta poorer residents are burning wood, plastic, rubber tires etc. in their home fire stoves, since they do not have central heating. Therefore, with the help of the wind, the whole western part of Sofia smells like shit during the winter or on a colder days.
The West park has always been wild like that, it has a `normal` section which actually looks pretty good, it is loaded with with barbecues, portable toilets, places where your dog can play and drink water from, brand new kids playgrounds, security cameras on every lamp, restaurants, etc. Your maps app just walked you through the `wild` part of the biggest park in Sofia which was hilarious to watch.
Fakulteta is named after the agronomical faculty, situated in the middle of the neighborhood, which is still active and was there before all the gypsies moved in there back in the 1930s. If you decide to visit again, bring me as a guide next time, I love walking through the West park and laughed a lot on your anxiety to go through paths on which I walk my kid and dog almost every weekend. :)
Great vid! :)
LOL he made a normal Balkan neighbourhood sound like the deadliest place on Earth
Where is all the graffiti. This is a tame bulgarian hood, my girlfriend lives right next to a gypsy camp and there is graffiti and football hooligans, their neighbour was chased out of the neighbourhood because he dared confront the gypsies about damage to his car.
To be fair even that wasn't dangerous.
Beautifully spoken like a real Irishman!
@@seamuspadraigsanders431
So true. I visited with my 6 year old son and people were friendly and great
Great acting bro
Honestly, of all the 'in the hood' videos on RUclips. This is by far the greatest. Spanian mate, too good
Love the Bulgarians in the comments I used to live in Romania and always loved visiting Bulgaria and had a great time there and felt very safe and welcome
Really gives you a different perspective on how people live around the world and REAAALY makes you realise just how good we have it in Australia
Not for long...!
@@KaiserSoze357mate try livein Katherine 😂
@@user-bq7zd5oh8p Really...how great is it there..?
@@user-bq7zd5oh8p Is it good there...?
@@KaiserSoze357Have some hope 😂
That strange rope you saw in the park, is called Martenitsa, and we ware it because of Baba Marta. We ware those bracelets around our wrist and this indicated the end of Winter and the beginning of spring. We take them off when we see a blooming tree and you tie it on that tree. Or birds which are only found during specific time of the year and not in winter. In addition those old Blocks are called EPK(Large formwork is the literal name) and yes they are still in use. Some of those old buildings were build during the Soviet regime and to this day they are still used. To us this is normal.
Very cool👍🇭🇲
The bird is a stork for you guys that want to know
Interesting!
Brother these videos are inspiring asf. Keep it up
And if he spoke to anyone he would know this, rather than being scared by some woodland...
Great video. I was having real fun watching it
Brutal.
Another great documentation of reality.
Well done.
Thank you.
Keep up the good work and safe travels.
What is Brutal? Go to Harrow in UK, now that’s dangerous, that was just dirty part of the city!
I've been watching since Spanian's first videos, and I just, for the first time, noticed the half a mil subscriber count! Well done sir, what a journey it's been so far 👏🤙
I've known him since Jail was in LongBay 2013 12 wing with him and remember when he first started socials and once he hit 5k followers on Instagram he freaked out and deleted everything hahaha so from that to now I'm stoked for him 💪
Hey, I am Bulgarian. Bulgaria and Sofia are much more than this. Overall Sofia is not more dangerous than Paris and London, for example. I could say it's even safer. You saw the metro is clean, cozy and new. Yes, there are doggy areas and of course air pollution is a huge problem.
15:07 - don't be afraid of this. They are called martenitsa - we, Bulgarian, put them on our hands on 1st of March each year as a sign for the upcoming spring. It's a long time tradition for health and prosperity. And when we see the first storks for the spring, we tie them on trees with blossom.
bulgaria bulgaria sofia bulgaria who cares bro
@@wuntlertumbo6778if you have the attention span of a goldfish then dont bother reading
@@Hy7o525dUcv9t I'm just saying its some poor region that everyone's kinda forgotten how interesting could it be? this man was completely fine? He didn't even run into anyone they honestly just look dirty....
@@wuntlertumbo6778 bulgaria got higher crime rates than every auscity bar alice, his entire channel is about hoods and dangerous spots so y wouknt he visit cunt😂
Man i cannot get enough of this channel!Love the walk throughs and the food episodes are amazing
Bro, you’re cracking me up! I love your videos and I felt like I was home watching this one!
Bro, I was waiting for that episode! As a Bulgarian who grew in one of Sofia's hoods (Nadezhda) I can say it was "normal" for us to live in that places and enjoy childhood. HOWEVER! Fakulteta is a different story... I can admit you are madly brave to go alone there. I don't know another person who would do that! And yes, Sofia can top the list of into the hood locations as you said. Glad you ended healthy and un-robbed in the Fakulteta trip! :) Keep it up!
fellow from nadejda here too, it’s maybe the second worse after Lulin, but still i love it and wouldn’t leave
Don't worry about old spinous he give them the half brick behind the head hoodoss goodnight Irene 😂😂😂😂🤪
Всичките ми приятелки са от надежда а аз от Факултета, от години се разхождат в махалата без мене най-спокойно никога никой нищо не им е казал или направил, моля ви спрете с тия простотии опасно е dangerous my ass, Факултета е мръсно окей но е най-сигурното място за когото и да е било. Хората там са добри никой с никого не се закача, който не вярва да провери сам, да отиде да се разходи да заговори някого, пък тогава да говори колко е опасно.

Hey guys, may I ask you as Bulgarians whats your take on Stolipinovo? I know it's in Plovdiv and not Sofia, but you sure know a lot about it, if it's really the ''biggest'' and ''worst'' gheto in Europe. I mean from the footage I've seen it' pretty crazy :D. Btw I've been to Burgas twice and it was really lovely! Love from Czechia
Pretty powerful images there brother. Real eye opener. I'm off gypsy blood and makes me so grateful to live in nz.
i bet you have nothing in common with *those* gipsies. If you see Tyson Fury and say "that's my representative" you should look up bulgarian gipsies. More like indians, as you can judge by the filth.
The big problem with the gypsy neighborhoods in general is that all the houses are illegally built over the decades. The state recognizes that there are people with their needs, but in the same time they don't pay taxes and the state can not provide the full list of benefits. It is a limbo. You can't get better living conditions, because you are poor. But you are poor, because you can't get better living conditions. It is a vicious cycle for poor people in general.
@@tkzsfen it's the hygiene of the people, inhabiting this area. Many other places are very, very clean.
@@tkzsfenYeah, it’s a culture of poverty. Usually, Romani people are very clean because of cleanliness laws.
@@Pauliepoika yeah, the cleanliness laws just like in India, their homeland, right?
Boss you make me laff with your bantering in ya video's bro straight 2 the point no messing... keep the video's coming m8
This was amazing. Great video
Your bringing content that allot of people never get to see and expierence. Sharing the reality of the world. Thanks!
brooooooo this video had me in STITCHES while you were going through the ghetto forest. Saw inside your brain man. Thanks for pushing through, it was worth it, truly going where no other travellers would go.
I always think i want him to have a local G to guide him, but i laugh so hard when he flips out on his own hahaaha
Yeah, the terror in his eyes at 15:51 , he nearly shat his pants in that forest - LOL
What was dangerous in this video? Just dirty places! Go in Harrow Weald at night and feel the fear…
It’s not a forest. It’s a park. In Bulgaria many parks are kept as natural as possible. As if you to a forest these are a lot of our parks. So it’s ridiculous that he even didn’t check where he is going. In addition he really needs local to explain. The video itself show a life that is so far from the reality.
He made it as if it’s really dangerous which is far from it.
People create very wrong opinion.
This its a good documentary,keep going man 🤘🏼🕶️🤘🏼
You are a good man, a kind man, you are a great example of someone who has turned their life around 👏🏽👏🏽 I salute you spanian love your videos
Thanks Spanian, I love your videos brutha
The “what is thatttt” gets me every vid 😂
Solid series ,this guy has really done well.
Bro much love from Sweden, keep em coming, ive binge watched the channel
Just gonna add that statistically, Bulgaria isn't "the poorest" but sadly it's down there. Poorest would be Kosovo/Albania/N. Macedonia, but that's just a detail. Great vid as usual man!
Lil edit (in case you see this) - if you're ever planning to go to Central Europe, I suggest you come to our beautiful country Czech Republic, to see Prague and... yknow, the hoods in the North where I live 😂 in case you see this (low but still!) Check out the regional city "Usti nad Labem" and especially check "Chanov" - probably the most notorious gypsy hood, same region as Usti, different city (Most). I know some people from the area, could ask around and get in contact with locals. In case you fans find this interesting, please like this so Spanian can see it!
poorest is almost always Moldova not Balkans. Also if he does go to Czechia h should do a slovakia detour and go check out Lunik 9, it's gotten better since the pope went there but it's the biggest slum in Europe
@@AjZ530 Last I checked GDP, Kosovo was lowest, but it's true that Moldova is also sadly at the bottom. Lunik IX has already been given international attention as you've mentioned yourself but I agree it would definitely fascinate Spanian haha. Pretty sure there are many places he could go to around Czech Rep/Slovakia such as Ostrava-Privoz.
Kosovo is an amazing place my bro, people are awesome! had a great time there. And yes your country IS beautiful.
100% poorest is Moldova or Belarus, more specifically Transistria in Moldova
@@kremepye3613 all this is a substitution of facts. In Belarus, you won't see any abandoned buildings or garbage on the streets. Even in the villages there will not be such devastation as in Sofia.
Hey bro thank you for coming to Sofia and making video about my country i hope you have great time and I hope you take some rakija for your next adventure. I was laughing when you was saying we look like criminals 😂
Bro you are criminally under subscribed. Your content is gold
Nice one brother. Great watch. Thanks.
Man is in the worst part of Bulgaria relying on apple maps that's the funniest shit I seen all day 😂😂
You can't not love Spanian! 😂
From "Full intestines" coming out of arms to shooting glocks whilst being of his chops. He's a good lad all round
Exactly
He'd hear the compliment and say staaaahp
i cant stand the guy, u r delusional if you think u cant not love the guy... Ask the family's of the victims he stabbed ya gronk..
Shut up ya slob@@ihatesigninnames
@@ihatesigninnames why are you watching his videos then
He is on a mission and killing it
We all mess up in our younger days and he paid the price
He has turned his life around for the better
Stop hating on the lad let's oooooog
I came across your video yesterday of the illegal Chinese restaurant and you were funny and it was just super interesting and now I'm watching this video thank you for sharing your travels your humor and your knowledge. I plan on watching more of these!
Thanks for your work, it is important people see how others live, stay safe!
Cmon lads, lets share this channel till its hits a few million!
It would be great to see more interaction with people, I bet there are loads who would show you round and welcome you in
That is what I thought. Wish we had a Bulgarian show him around!
Spanian one of the best youtuber and a great role model for the youth 💯
Your content/videos keeps on getting better, you are doing such a good job! Thank you for showing us places around the world and informing us about the living conditions. It really is like a documentary, super informative. Thank you thank you thank you ❤
This is why we love you!! You go hard for us. We love it
Pause
Absolutely love all your travel vlogs, your pure honesty when traveling around the world is a blessing, can't wait for the new 360° camera views on your next travels.❤ Please, please, please travel to Albania 🇦🇱 such a beautiful country but also heart braking dark history. I would love to see you travel there.
bruh! just watched watched your doc of Alice Spring, watched the Darwin doc, and now watchin you in Bulgaria! love it!
greetings from Papua New Guinea!
Had to sub after that video. Respect bro!
Every afternoon after finishing work just wanna relax before bed time on to RUclips to go chill with Spanian what a legend. Feel like I’m travelling the world just sitting on my couch. 😂😂
100% I love my evenings with Span..no homo
Love the videos brother 💪🏼
Let’s Oggg
Wow thanks for showing us this. I am speechless nothing could top this how truly sad
It was not dangerous at all! Just dirty, UK far more dangerous nowadays!
Spanian wigging out over the Soviet statue had me in stitches. Also the freakout in the creepy ass forest, great episode.
It's not a soviet statue, it's a statue of saint Sofia
I laughed when he said it sounds like Joseph Stalin
The statue is after-sotz buiult, I was 12-14 when they put it there, but yeah it is creepy AF mostly. What'cha think about our playground equipment?
WOW! Man this one gave me butterflies 4 ya lol...glad u got out unscathed brother...stay safe & thanks 4 braving the Forest & going the extra mile (literally lol)
Love the content ! Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪
I like how his Aussie survival reflexes just kicked in after crossing the water bridge into the forest lol
The soundtrack is awesome for me too. Those low piano sounds and the hard hip hop percussion just sets the tone.
I've been to bulgaria 4 times. Has great skiing, good food and amazing people. Its sad so much of the country is in poverty
Mud skiing...😂
@@jonathanturner9803 there are mountains my friend. Borovets is an example
not taking any skilifts in that place haha
@@TheKonzti why the hate?
@@MK-ro2np yea I went there 3 times, bansko once. Would go every year if I could
Wow! You go into the most scary places Spanian, I can't believe the risks you take but thank you for showing insides of the world that most would never venture into.
The risky woodland? Ooga booga? Any street in any major city is more dangerous than this entire video.
@@myplaylistisfireHe kinda left minutes after he entered the actual ghetto he was supposed to look at 😂
@@petarjuric5828 Yeah, the vlogs are alright but this channel is becoming abit shit imo. Nothing hood about this.
Top video and commentary.
Love your show lad. Epic. Do one in Bogota. Would be amazing bro
Let's fucking go, Spanian been enjoying you vids of you traveling overseas and seeing new shit.
Intense ASF 💪🏿💪🏿💯💪🏿💪🏿 if i could give you a million likes i would these series are unreal U R Tha Mantis 💯👍🏿✌🏿
This is some of the best footage on the internet brother, surprised not many people chirp ya
Great video. I was surprised at the fairly nice cars all around the area!
Your appearance is everything… you have the confidence in your walk, mannerisms, and can back it up with life experiences!
Boom… you was made for this
I like Sofia with the big mountain to climb next to the city. The waterfall is beautiful too! Everything is so cheap and the people are very nice. If you can't sleep at night you can watch the street racing at the main road😂
You did a good job. First video of yours I’ve seen. Liked it a lot. Thanks for posting
I m pretty sure you are MUCH safer in the woods than in a more populated area. I love the woodland terrain. I gotta say that I really like your work tho! You are hilarious,entertaining,polite to people you encounter and have a natural talent. I m looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you my brother.
Spanian is a city boy. That's probably the first time that he's ever been in a forrest. That's why he was sh*tting himself. 😂
Seeing span on the street I grew up on @16:30 almost warmed my heart 😂
Mate, you are awesome. Keep it up - from NZ! Maybe come to South Auckland!
Thank you for your service
Great job don’t stop ever very educational.
Let’s go Spanian!
Best video yet, mate. Had me cracking up between being genuinely concerned for your safety. Would have been great to get to meet a resident or two who could show you around, but understand that's not always possible.
He doesn’t meet anyone because the viewers would realise these places are safe and welcoming, just poor. It would screw up hos whole clickbaity lying agenda…
That is a mental place, thanks for the journey Spanian crazy crazy world
I have never seen outside Australia, This makes you realise how great our country is and how lucky we are. Our bad days seem stupid after seeing this. Thanks for sharing
That's true but don't forget that this is the worst part of the city and that every city has bad parts where you shouldn't go
I guess it's true but I'm from The Netherlands and not from Australia. But for everyone counts, we can not and do not have to, compare our situations to the situations of others. I'm sure even the richest of the richest have bad days and they are allowed to have them, too....
More like aboriginies country 🤦🏾♂️🤣
@@bogomiltodorov2803 Even the worst parts of Australia aren't this bad though, we're very lucky .
This is only one part of Bulgaria. If you exclude areas with gypsies, Bulgaria is amazing.
Entertaining video, but I gotta say that I've always felt very safe in Sofia and I've walked pretty much everywhere. Very nice people everywhere and of course great food and very nice vibes
Vids make me grateful af for what I got
‘Play on there, you be happy!’ 🫵🏼😆
Well I did and I was happy. It is all about perspective. I wouldn't go to Faulteta though.
Spanian, you had the balls to do what I couldn’t do in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 😂 Hats off to you!
I thank you for visiting our place, will check ur vids out
You should see also Stolipinovo in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. I think it is even worst.
Really enjoy your content man! 👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hey! Just discovered you. This place looks a lot like where i am from. Thank U for a vibrant and interesting tour
The weather is definitely making the vibe a lot more grim 😂
Yeah a lot of this looks quite stunning in the warmer months. That hiking trail would be stunning
LETS OOOOOG
Great viewing. Love your humour.😂.
Great video Span, thanks for the tour. Brave on you for touring this area. I thought the Collingwood towers in Melbourne were scary lol. I felt and could see your feaR. Good you got out of there before nightfall. Great to see you're living your life experiencing lots of emotions scary to safe.
Really good video spanian, that place is straight up out of a zombie movie apocalypse movie bro wow.. net alone the bush track lol yeah it used to be something.. a murder scene hahaha
That plane is set up like one of those warthogs
Sounds like Lunic 9 in Kosice Slovakia.
I've been to Sophia and Bulgaria a few times. Love these hood videos.
Wait until he goes there that place is bad
he needs to go where they filmed borat
@@RazPerignonthat was romania
@@Stuckinthen9neties didn’t he go to Romania already?

Just Put the playback on 2x to unlock a whole new show! Spanian on a mission with a drum n bass back track
You won’t regret it lad!
I feel like you'd need a few glass bbqs to deal with that lol
Being from the states (Bronx, NY) it's so interesting being able to see other parts of the world. One of the cleaners who works in the building I work at is from Montenegro and she's always telling me about former Yugoslavia.
and that's the moment i smile when someone in germany talks about ghetto. wow what a place
