The service sector and quality are still weak in Bulgaria, and when we look at prices and quality, it is not attractive at all compared to neighboring countries.
I'm considering visiting Varna from Plymouth England with the view to maybe buy an apartment and move, England is on it's knees and it's all too expensive. Your great videos is helping me to make a decision. Great videos keep it going Justin.
English people have a real poor reputation when abroad, maybe at home as well.. I tell the Bulgarians I'm from Mexico (have a Mexican passport) it goes down better. Lovely county, lovely people very kind have some really good friends there. Hope to build a small house there one day. Blessings to all Bulgarians at home and aboard.
Hi Daniel, I know what you mean as I have some bad experiences in a few countries, but if you are respectful and kind, eventually people will looked passed your passport. Great plan on the house mate👌
Their reputation is not so bad to be honest. Bulgarians mostly don't like Johnson and the way he spoke about Romanians and Bulgarians who went to work in Britain during his BREXIT campaign. In feneral it's not that Bulgarians don't like Englishmen it's more like most don't like speaking English. I personally find English as a business and tourust language. If the guys are cool enough I might spend some time talking to them, but I lose interest in the conversations very quickly. Maybe the only repulsive thing about English guys is that they pollute a lot. It's mainly the kids but the parents are not doing much to teach them behave. I worked for a while at a bar at the airport and the mess after the kids was crazy, 😄. So yeah, the only repulsive about the English guys are the kids, Johnson and the fact you don't speak Bulgarian 😅 Also a bad reputation for the U.K. is all the cheap corporations they outsource. I've worked for 3 UK comoanies and promised myself I'm not doing it anymore. Now I'm working for some U.Sm corooration and they are on another level. The U.K. corporations care only for the profit not the relations with the customer. In the U.K. companies money was always in front of the customer. And funnily enough 2 of the 3 UK companies were doing stock frauds and went bankrupt on purpose multiple times so they don't have to pay to people and companies they owe money.
@@J.E.E True. If you behave as an equal you are welcomed very warm anywhere in the world. I'm happy to see most greet you well. Every person should feel well anywehre they go.

Daniel je te remercie infiniment !!! Chaque nouvelle vidéo que je réalise, je doute si les gens vont l'aimer ?!?! Ça fait du bien de lire des messages comme le tien 👍👌 A très bientôt
Hi Justin, I am from Bulgaria and stumbled upon your channel a few days ago. Watched this video first and then binge watched all others from Varna. Love your style of filming and all the genuine interactions with the people around you. Can't wait to see more videos. I think you mentioned in some of your videos that you are also going to Sofia, so why not film there too.
Hello mate, Thank you so much for the kind comment. Getting positive feedback from the locals means a lot to.me. Sofia is coming soon... with a delay because last time I was there I accidently deleted all my footage 🤪 I am happy you are enjoying the videos and please keep the comments and likes coming as they really help the channel 👌
Thanks Justin you made my day remembering beautiful varna, i was there 3 years ago. Luckily I will be back in September , you gave me nice tips 👍 Greetings from Tunisia
Justin, you have an amazing personality, best traveling attitude, amazing content, and amazing blending with your destination country's culture through the right mix of personality, language, humor, and spirit ❤ You're talented and God-gifted. Amazing work 💯👏👏👏
Another wonderful beautiful excursion. Thanks Justin for sharing, Safe travels and fun times Sir. Nice to see you making friends with the local Gopniks! LOL
Really enjoyed your clip! Been there as a boy. Kinda remote vacation for me right now... Also reminded me Charlie Runkle character from Californication TV series...
Great vlog Justin. I liked when you passed that kebab place ( 7:23min ) and it said Zajebisty Kebab in polish ( kick-ass kabab in polish ) 🤪 safe travels
Im a new subscriber and I enjoy your travels...I'm an Ecuadorian who knows likes to to meet people from abroad.....since I'm fluent in Spanish as well as English,it can be promising to travel ,like your style...
It's not a war zone. Only on the extreme east is there problems. The west side is unaffected, but those are who probably make up the majority. Economc opportunists. Big difference.
Hi Justin. I love your videos, you are a very smart guy! My partner is Bulgarian and I love the country.We live in the Uk.I would recommend to visit Romania-Transylvania. It is a lot of culture there. We are a mix between latins and slavics. I am sure that you are going to have lots of people following you there. Have a great time in Bulgaria!
Hi Daniela, Thank you so much for the kind comment 😊 I am happy you like the channel and may I say that I love Romania. I have been there many times, however not as a youtuber... but it will happen soon. All the best and please keep the comments and likes coming as they really support the channel.
great video jusit :) i was 2 times in this place HOTEL HAVANA great place to take break and enjoy. thanks for share this so much memories from this place hope to come some day again :)
Hi Shay, I come often to this place and I am happy I could trigger some memories for you and give you the desire to travel Thanks my friend for your support.
Hey Justin, it seems to me you are forgetting your English mate 😂 Got a new subscriber just now. Enjoying this video and my cup of coffee at the garden in East Barnet ☕🤝
I totally agree with you golden sands is the best.. the beaches are beautiful an not over crowded at night is the same. It hasn't changed much an it is about 10 years since was there.why haven't gone back is they don't fly in Varna anymore don't fancy 2hours on a bus.but it lovely place an the people do anything for you
Another enjoyable and informative video from Justin. This video brought back some memories of Golden Sands for me, having stayed there in 2007 and 2017. My first time in Golden Sands was the best, back in June 2007, with some great daylight and nighttime activities on offer. The nightlife was outstanding with some of the clubs playing Chagla music and dancing to it, and of course loads of female company ( it is Bulgaria after all). When I went back to Golden Sands 10 years later in 2017, did not have the same feel to it. It came across as being very commercialized and a bit tacky. On the positive side, Golden Sands is a well-maintained resort with terrific beaches, is very compact and is well connected with the historic city of Varna. On the negative side, Golden Sands can appear to be like a Bulgarian Blackpool, once you have walked around it several times it starts to become rather repetitive, and the constant playing of the really loud techno and rave music is everywhere on the seafront bars is very annoying to put up with. Some hotels in Golden Sands still have the appearance of being from the 1970s, very socialist style. I stayed in a very charming hotel on the southern part of Golden Sands in the direction of Varna in 2017. Thanks once again to Justin for this video and I hope to see more videos of Golden Sands.
Hello mate, We probably partied together in the PR Club on the front back then!!! I agree with many things you said, that is why I try to come here a couple of weeks before the season takes off. Things do change, however I find in Bulgaria at a slower pace than other countries. Also being ten years older also gives you a different perspective. Thank you for watching mate and all the best!
Hi Justin Thank you for the wonderful videos you shooting about Bulgaria !!! In fact, I am from Varna and I am honestly addicted to your videos and I use them in a very good way to show my English friends where I was born. I have been living in London for the last 9 years. It would be a great happiness for me when you return to London , let me show you my favorite Bulgarian shops and restaurants! And to try the good Bulgarian Beer too 😉 Best Regards Valentina
Hi Valentina, Thank you so much for the kind comment. It is fantastic to hear that you use my videos to highlight your hometown 😀 A real indication that I am doing a good job. Would love to meet up in London and go on a Bulgarian adventure with you. Thanks again and please keep the comments and likes coming as they really help the channel. Sender an email so we can coordinate the adventure. justinmalka7@gmail.com
I have great memorries in golden sands when I worked there one summer. When you said you are going to eat lamb somewhere I immediately thought of the Chiflishki Han. We always ate there on our lunch breaks with the colleagues. Atmosphere is great and the staff are nice people.
I am from Varna you should go to the falllen restaurant in Galata great view towards the city. You should visit Historical Park in the village of Neofit Rilski around 30 kilometers from Varna and the Retro Museum hope i can see vlogs from those places and hope you like every second you spend in Bulgaria !
Hi Justin! Greetings from Bulgaria! I love your videos and want to salute you for them! You are always welcome to our country and I want to invite you on a tour in Central and South Bulgaria the Thracian Valley and the mountains of Rodopi! We talk about great homemade recipes and delicious food and wine from the mountains and couple of monasteries. Great rakia too! I can also show you a great marketplaces in south Bulgaria! Respond to this if you are interested 😊
Helloate and thank you for the kind comment. Sounds amazing and would need coordinating!!! Could you message me on Instagram? Would be easier to chat there than here?!?
Hello Greg, I think you and I are on the same wavelength of life... That music was diabolical, but super popular with the Germans there. Thanks for watching mate.
Golden Sands and Sunny Beach especially are considered low-quality resorts by most Bulgarians. You typically go there if you just want to get smashed for 5 days straight and therefore do not care whether you are in a shithole or not. Most Bulgarians typically go to the resort towns south of Burgas - Sozopol, Primorsko, Ahtopol, Kiten, etc. I defenitely recommend checking Sozopol out if you have the chance, and all the beaches around it like Gradina, Smokini and Kavatsi. They are very beautiful, not as commercialised and are great for partying. And the ladies there are the most beautiful on all of the Bulgarian coast :P
@@scotland638 There are certainly nations with more beautiful women, like Italy and Russia, but Bulgarian women are also definetely among the top 10 in Europe, and if you don't think so you clearly have never been to Bulgaria. :)
Its a nice weather to be on the Golden Sands. I would recommend to lookup some side beaches or places as well, since they're not that populated and very clean! It's amazing environment. Of course, you should experience the nice people around and English shouldn't be an issue if you meet anyone >40. :) Cheers from a Bulgarian Friend ~.
Hello mate, Thank you so.much for your input. I really enjoy your country and will definitely check more places out next time I am there. All the best and please keep the comments and likes coming as they really help the channel 👌👍
Actually name Varna-Carvuna comes from old romanian and it means "land of the coal"! Turkish interpretation meaning crows not the right one, that's what we learn in school... Long time ago romanian Dobrudja was extending as far as Burgas and Pomorie.
Great to see you enjoying your live, mate :) You fit everywhere. Keep going, i follow :) I was there like 38 years ago... Edit: Lol? OMG, Mate, get rid off that grey fur. What the hell? ;) I suppose i am of your age, but you will never see a grey hair on me ;)
Hello Mike, So happy you liked that vidoe, and I bet it was amazing back then!!! 🤣🤣🤣 still not a metrosxual... quite old fashioned!!! Only just recently gave up on the speedos🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for watching and for the fun comment... Keep them coming!
Hey Justin, 10:20 - you should definately visit the Gela Bagpipe Folklore festival, they usually rotate whole lambs there and you can buy a peace. The event is usually the first Friday of August, this year it is between 5th to 7th
I recently found your videos and i love them. You're always so friendly and charming to the people. I like it. Especially since i travel to Bulgaria about two times of the year. There were a lot of nice places you showed on the Varna episodes and i will visit them later in June. I feel so embarrased for the Germans at the Mojito Bar. They act like pigs on vacation!
Thank you so much!! my friend and I am happy you are enjoying the content. June is the perfect time and let me know if you need any tips on the place!!!
@@J.E.E I totally forget to ask: Where do you change your Money when you're at Golden Sands? Since i am going in June, maybe you could give me a tip. I usally used the changing booths at the beach. Thanks in advance.
Hey Justin, are you in Bulgaria these days? Let's go for some awesome mekitsi in Varna. As for the Ukrainians - they get one time payment of 380lv per family (regardless of the number of people in it), and until the 31st of May the government paid 40lv to the hotel (directly) to accommodate them. Since the 1st of June it's 15lv per person and they have to pay for the rest. No money is given directly to them.
Best beaches are In Cyprus. Visit Varosha -the closed city ( all hotels ruined unfortunately and empty for more than 40 years) ; surrounded by soldiers but you can still go inside to its beaches . Dont take the small bus just walk a bit and you will find the lonely beach. The beach is all yours. No people and water is amazing. Paradise just by yourself. You feel like Johnny Depp who owns an Island.
I'm from Bulgaria, it depending what people looking for... For party and night life Sunny beach is one of the best summer place, for beaches, sunny weather and food Cyprus is top 1 destination in Europe, but the best beaches are in Protaras area...
Hello Justin. I was looking for an Eastern European country to relocate to. I'm from Nigeria, Africa. I have a friend in Bulgaria and he's saying I should come. What do you think? Do you think Bulgaria is a good country to relocate to? Or do you have advise for another Eastern European country you can recommend?
@@J.E.Emy daughters best friend was born here in sunny Scotland to 2 polish parents and she is proud to say she is Polish, it isn't just your accent it's its the way you say certain things that aren't very English, so where is your parents from?
@@leegilmour8090 sorry if you hoping for something more exotic... mum born in London, grandparents too, great grandparents too... I know that takes me back to 1907 if I recall... but I know it is also beyond that. Anyways all the best mate
Just a heads up, when you saw the chickens at 10:10 and talked about "what if there was a lamb there". It's actually a thing in Bulgaria, they dish is called a "cheverme" which consists of a whole lamb placed the same as the chickens, on a rotating piece of wood, and cooked for up to 8 hours so it comes out extremely tasty and juicy. There's a restaurant on the seaside which is in Nessebar where they do it very nicely. The place itself is called "Chevermeto" after the food, if you are ever in Nessebar but you can find them elsewhere as well.
Hi Vladimir. Thank you so much for the comment and the tip. My next food mission in Bulgaria will be Cheremeto👌👌👌 I am so.looking forward to it. Please keep the nice comments and likes coming as they really help the channel 🙏

Definitely… it’s a great place to visit!👌👍

Brilliant idea, let me know what your needs are and i will make some recommendations!! 👍😃
English people have a real poor reputation when abroad, maybe at home as well..

Hope to build a small house there one day.

Yes and remember the food from Bulgaria ,it’s very Good
Cool videos I like your humor
Thank you mate, I am happy you enjoy joy it.
Awesome brother
Thank you mate!!!
Justin my friend, loved this but you are right, the music in that German bar sucked...! LOL Excellent informative video...! Greg...IN
Hello Greg,
I think you and I are on the same wavelength of life...
That music was diabolical, but super popular with the Germans there.
Thanks for watching mate.
Justin the Bulgarian language is not just the hardest , it is the most hardest language in the world!
Thank you very much for your input!
Classy Brit, laying on 500EU for the lolz :D
🤣🤣🤣 that's what I thought
Golden Sands and Sunny Beach especially are considered low-quality resorts by most Bulgarians. You typically go there if you just want to get smashed for 5 days straight and therefore do not care whether you are in a shithole or not. Most Bulgarians typically go to the resort towns south of Burgas - Sozopol, Primorsko, Ahtopol, Kiten, etc. I defenitely recommend checking Sozopol out if you have the chance, and all the beaches around it like Gradina, Smokini and Kavatsi. They are very beautiful, not as commercialised and are great for partying. And the ladies there are the most beautiful on all of the Bulgarian coast :P
I am packing mate... that last part sold me!
Beautiful Bulgarians 😆 #oxymoron
@@scotland638 There are certainly nations with more beautiful women, like Italy and Russia, but Bulgarian women are also definetely among the top 10 in Europe, and if you don't think so you clearly have never been to Bulgaria. :)
@@tsetso99 I was only joking,mate,I've been to Bulgaria a few times and the women there are as beautiful as anywhere else, except Scotland naturally 🤣
@@scotland638 The Scottish accent turns me on though :D
6:42 Polish influence is visible - "zajebisty kebab" :)))
Absolutely... Wait till you see the lamb at then end👌👍
@@J.E.E Justin, the pronunciation is not soft, it's "agneshka" and simply means "lamb" in Bulgarian (fem. adj. - lamb what?)
Its a nice weather to be on the Golden Sands. I would recommend to lookup some side beaches or places as well, since they're not that populated and very clean! It's amazing environment. Of course, you should experience the nice people around and English shouldn't be an issue if you meet anyone >40. :)
Cheers from a Bulgarian Friend ~.
Hello mate,
Thank you so.much for your input.
I really enjoy your country and will definitely check more places out next time I am there.
All the best and please keep the comments and likes coming as they really help the channel 👌👍
Actually name Varna-Carvuna comes from old romanian and it means "land of the coal"! Turkish interpretation meaning crows not the right one, that's what we learn in school... Long time ago romanian Dobrudja was extending as far as Burgas and Pomorie.
It isn't pronounced agneshkA like polish... has nothing to do with poland....
It is pronounced AgneshkO. Which just means lamb...
Thank you for clarifying mate... Still amused me 🤣
Great to see you enjoying your live, mate :) You fit everywhere.
Keep going, i follow :)
I was there like 38 years ago...
Edit: Lol? OMG, Mate, get rid off that grey fur. What the hell? ;)
I suppose i am of your age, but you will never see a grey hair on me ;)
Hello Mike,
So happy you liked that vidoe, and I bet it was amazing back then!!!
🤣🤣🤣 still not a metrosxual... quite old fashioned!!!
Only just recently gave up on the speedos🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for watching and for the fun comment... Keep them coming!
@@J.E.E I keep watching your vids. quality work. hope thats the right spelling :D
have a nice trip in our country mate. 🎉😊
Thank you Bobi... I love the place👌👍
Hey Justin, 10:20 - you should definately visit the Gela Bagpipe Folklore festival, they usually rotate whole lambs there and you can buy a peace.
The event is usually the first Friday of August, this year it is between 5th to 7th
I recently found your videos and i love them. You're always so friendly and charming to the people. I like it. Especially since i travel to Bulgaria about two times of the year. There were a lot of nice places you showed on the Varna episodes and i will visit them later in June. I feel so embarrased for the Germans at the Mojito Bar. They act like pigs on vacation!
Thank you so much!! my friend and I am happy you are enjoying the content.
June is the perfect time and let me know if you need any tips on the place!!!
@@J.E.E I totally forget to ask: Where do you change your Money when you're at Golden Sands? Since i am going in June, maybe you could give me a tip. I usally used the changing booths at the beach. Thanks in advance.
@@TheFrankonia83 I would not recommend doing that... There is a place in Varna called Vrachev, that is the most reliable place
Great place
👍👌
Thanks Justin. better travelogue than Judith Chalmers ! Keep them coming mate
Cheers Paul,
Wow... That's going back a few years😊
As always mate I appreciate the support, it really helps on every video💯👌👍
Enjoy your videos
i am so glad you are enjoying the video...Thank you so much for watching 👍👌

He was a nice guy

Пламена е супер! 😍
👍👍 Greetings from Poland :)
Been to both.Golden Sands is quieter than Sunny Beach, but I prefer Sunny Beach.
They both have their charm👌👍
Great video of golden sands I was last there 2007 stayed at hotel Bonita cheap and cheerful.
Beer was only 50p a pint how much is it now?
Very informative
Glad you liked it!! 👍😃
Very nice good luck
Thanks you for watching my friend 👍👌
Hey Justin, are you in Bulgaria these days?
Let's go for some awesome mekitsi in Varna.
As for the Ukrainians - they get one time payment of 380lv per family (regardless of the number of people in it), and until the 31st of May the government paid 40lv to the hotel (directly) to accommodate them. Since the 1st of June it's 15lv per person and they have to pay for the rest.
No money is given directly to them.
Hi John,
Thanks for clarifying the Ukrainian facts...
I am in London but I am back on Monday... lets do it!!!
Message me on justinmalka7@gmail.com
Just out of curiosity, what is the place for mekitsi in Varna ? Looking forward to trying as well!
Interesting places in eastern euruopian
Very interesting mate!
Best beaches are In Cyprus. Visit Varosha -the closed city ( all hotels ruined unfortunately and empty for more than 40 years) ; surrounded by soldiers but you can still go inside to its beaches . Dont take the small bus just walk a bit and you will find the lonely beach. The beach is all yours. No people and water is amazing. Paradise just by yourself. You feel like Johnny Depp who owns an Island.
Without Amber Heard I hope!!!
Now I will have to go there, sounds amazing!!!
I'm from Bulgaria, it depending what people looking for...
For party and night life Sunny beach is one of the best summer place, for beaches, sunny weather and food Cyprus is top 1 destination in Europe, but the best beaches are in Protaras area...
Hehe, Agnieszka ;)
🤣🤣
Браво бе саксонец браво
Merci Balgarin... Merci👌🤣
Saxonec 😆
Justin, I love your program. I wish that you would show some girls and young ladies from Latvia.
Oglądam i pozdrawiam😁

0:34 I'll be using that advice in 2023 👍
Let me know ahead of time and I will give you some tips!!!
Thanks for watching and commenting mate.
Hello Justin. I was looking for an Eastern European country to relocate to. I'm from Nigeria, Africa. I have a friend in Bulgaria and he's saying I should come. What do you think? Do you think Bulgaria is a good country to relocate to? Or do you have advise for another Eastern European country you can recommend?
16:22. Nice view in the right corner 😉
"Donut" 🤣
Was there 50 years ago mainly for shopping and was only 11 y old
Where are you from before you lived in England? Your accent isn't entirely English?
Hi Lee,
Actually it is the other way around... I was born in London and have lived in many countries... As a result this weird accent😋
@@J.E.Emy daughters best friend was born here in sunny Scotland to 2 polish parents and she is proud to say she is Polish, it isn't just your accent it's its the way you say certain things that aren't very English, so where is your parents from?
@@leegilmour8090 sorry if you hoping for something more exotic... mum born in London, grandparents too, great grandparents too... I know that takes me back to 1907 if I recall... but I know it is also beyond that.
Anyways all the best mate
Cool Justin never been there but all looks dodgy must say also the people...
Dyner and him seing kebap🤣🤣🤣
You don't sound fully British, where are you from exactly? : )
Born in London mate, and dates back several generations.
Accent is a result of traveling!!!
Thank you for watching mate
Yea I agree ,but prefer if all English would speak like this
Zajebisty Kebab haha....own by Polish I guess;)
Come to Sunny Beach and visit us at the slingshot
Sounds good mate!!!
Tell me more.
Just a heads up, when you saw the chickens at 10:10 and talked about "what if there was a lamb there". It's actually a thing in Bulgaria, they dish is called a "cheverme" which consists of a whole lamb placed the same as the chickens, on a rotating piece of wood, and cooked for up to 8 hours so it comes out extremely tasty and juicy. There's a restaurant on the seaside which is in Nessebar where they do it very nicely. The place itself is called "Chevermeto" after the food, if you are ever in Nessebar but you can find them elsewhere as well.
Hi Vladimir.
Thank you so much for the comment and the tip.
My next food mission in Bulgaria will be Cheremeto👌👌👌
I am so.looking forward to it.
Please keep the nice comments and likes coming as they really help the channel 🙏
