We are Zarko and Tressa, retired “US Expats” living full time in Burgas, Bulgaria.
After retirement we chose to relocate to Burgas, a beautiful city on the Black Sea Coast. Here, we are living the European Lifestyle with parks, bike lanes, coffee shops, nice beach and wonderful people. This prime location, located close to Istanbul Turkey, allows us to easily travel to any European Destination as well as anywhere in the world.
We have a passion for travel to explore new cities and discover “off the beaten path” locations. Our desire to continuously learn about new cultures and experience new things takes us to near and far destinations.
The more we traveled we realized it was easy to forget the details of past destinations, so we took up photography and videography. We have a lot of information to share with other retired like-minded explorers. We enjoy comfortable accommodations, great food and a nice glass of wine.
Get out there are see the world. There is “no time to waste.”

Your video has reminded us to take another Canary Islands cruise ! No beer for Zarko this time ?? 😊
do you use local currency?
It's the video for each day watching. Thanks
Nadhera😊❤
Thank you for sharing your travels, take your time and we will still be here waiting for your next video ❤
Your videos are always great .. thanks for sharing your adventures 🥰
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of Tenerife.
Looks wonderful
I’m so relaxed now! 🍷 Thank-you for another lovely video ❤
As always an amazing video we definitely understand if you can't give us as much content because we still want you guys to enjoy.aĺl of the ports. I must say the street sculptures were great.
How lovely to see your happiness at being back home in Europe! From all the places you've been, it is different isn't it? Even the French or other dependencies in the South pacific and Indian Ocean didn't quite have it. What a trip you are having - I think back to the early days in South America - how far you've come and it's been fabulous to accompany you. Can't wait to see your take on familar territory for me - I'm English and have holidayed in the med often. Look forward to seeing you in a little slice of Britain in Gibraltar -
Love your videos.
I have friends that live in Europe and have for about ten years. I’m in the US and they say the same things about loving the European lifestyle. I had considered joining them but then Covid happened. Kinda derailed everything. But I’m envious of their freedom they have and the ease of life, so much less stress.
I’ve been watching all your videos since you started the trip. I can’t believe you’re two-thirds done! Don’t worry about us as you hit this upcoming busy period. 😊
Well done you two - after 6 months on ship 🚢- what is it like ?
It was nice to see Tenerife again, went there in 2019, brought back memories, thank you.
Hi I hope you have a Nice cruise! I bhave been to all the Canary island on a cruise 15 years a go. Very Nice Islands. Are going to Bulgaria in two weeks. First time for me. Golden sands and then a daytrip to Constansa. Have a Nice evening! ❤️ Michael from Sweden
Don’t worry about getting your videos out … enjoy the journey and we’ll be here waiting for you!
I love this Spanish island I love this place it is just perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm headed here next year on a Trans Atlantic Barcelona to Port Canaveral
Given howat ease you arearound the world, this must have been very hard. I am glad to et a view and hope with you that uplift is possible,
Fascinating & very colourful. I could watch the women balancing the baskets etc on their head all day long! How do they do it 😱😂
I found the tiled walls in that fortress really interesting so of course had to spend a little time Googling more about them. They are Portuguese & tell the story of the history of Angola. On another sadder note the corruption is awful. Thank you for talking about it. Your videos are a really informative travelogue.
The lady who sat next to you in the monorail seemed really uncomfortable. Not everyone likes to be in your video. Blur their faces at least 😅
This was hard to watch. Probably even harder to experience. Part of me thinks it's understandable that the vendors were aggressive - they are desperate to support their families. Except, then I wonder what that desperation will cause them to do. Thank you for being willing to go and share your experience. If only there was some oversight / organization they would probably get more tourist $. Maybe they'll see that they are scaring off the very people they need to do business with, and they'll decide to work together. It looks like that's what they've done in the Caribbean.
Now come and tell all this shit about our country, what is it for ? Increase your views ? Make you feel more important ? Okay, we are poor but proud and live with it with dignity, if you can't accommodate it so stay at home or go to France that's all. I didn't like your vlog about our country at all and refrain from coming back please !
Great episode. Never heard of Gorée. And Dakar looked like it was quite an eye opening experience. We love learning about new places. Thanks for sharing another adventure with us. p.s. Now I want to try some La Gazelle Beer. 😆
It’s important for us to these areas through the eyes of tourists. Things do change over time, and I’m glad RC was willing to try this port.
Thanks for sharing 🥰 Poverty & vendor aggressiveness so sad
I don’t want to sound rude but why would Royal choose this port ? I can imagine tourism is a big money maker .
Senegal has a lot of natural resources and one day it will be an Atlantic playground for the wealthy.....You are lucky to see it as this time.......But if the beer is bad no way....thanx Zork.....
It is unfortunate that you were inundated by aggressive street vendors. When the hair on the back of your neck stands up, its a smart move to retreat.
Obrigado por visitar o meu país 🇦🇴 Angola.
This was a tough one to watch, does this ever dissuade you from travel? Did you notice many kids getting off the ship in this port? 💕
Thank you for all you show us .Enjoying all your videos.
Another interesting video. I didn't realise that Senegal was such a poor country. It's so unpleasant to be so intimidated by the vendors that made you feel unsafe. We had a similar experience in Jamaica. You'll definitely be fine in Tenerife!
Sadly many African's live in poverty because of corruption and the often 'unfair' monopolisation of natural resources. Whether that applies to Senegal, I don't know, but given that Africa is a source of diamonds, gold, other precious metals, gemstones and ores, as well as oil and gas, it's criminal that those natural resources don't provide for the people as let's say, the North Sea oilfields benefit the people of Norway under the Sovereign Wealth Fund. You only have to look at Zimbabwe - as Rhodesia, it was the 'breadbasket' of Africa with flourishing agriculture and industry; under corrupt local rule, it's now the basketcase of Africa after the locals murdered many of the white farming familes - now they starve. I'm looking forward to your trek northwards and the Canary islands are lovely!
Yes, very sad and very sad history on the island but happy on island I am very sad with the knowledge of the situation in the town Thank you for the vlog to showing the world what is happening there to the people
Pls dont talk in the monorail :-(
我虽然是天津本地人但这些地方本地人基本不去这里面就那个龙壶里面的茶腾比较好喝剩下的都一般
感谢您分享您的观点！听当地人讲述他们的经历和建议总是很有趣。我们一定会记住龙壶里的茶，下次再来。感谢您的见解！
I live in Kagoshima. It's interesting to see a tourist point of view. A few things: - you pay for the ferry on the Sakurajima side no matter which way you travel. I'm sure that you figured that out - Sakurajima doesn't really have hiking trails. It has walking paths that are near the water. There is a "no entry" zone around the volcano. - people use umbrellas for rain... and sun because it gets very hot and humid in summer. If it ashes then they might use them for that. Winds bring ash into the city in summer. - Tenmonkan is a nice area to walk around. It's just a shopping area but it's compact and easy to walk around. - the "cakes" had bean paste in them - you are right. Kagoshima isnt a huge tourist city. There are things to do but it's no Kyoto or Tokyo where there care dozens of cool things to do It looks like you had OK weather. We had some terrible weather in May.
Wow, wow, wow! Your videos are wonderful, thanks for taking us along on your voyages. Cape Town drive was so awesome. Thank you again
How wonderful ... and all those boats! What a lovely visit.
It really was a wonderful visit! Thanks for joining us on this adventure!
GOD is faithful
While everyone has their own beliefs, it's important to respect the purpose and content of travel vlogs. Our aim is to share cultural experiences and travel insights, and we'd appreciate keeping the focus on that. Let's celebrate our shared love of exploring new places and cultures! Spamming is not cool regardless of the motive.
What a wonderful adventure!
