SOLO overnight hike | The Seven Rila Lakes to the Rila Monastery | DAY 1

Hi there :)

In this video you will see me doing my first overnight hike: from the Seven Rila Lakes to the Rila Monastery in Bulgaria. The views are absolutely AMAZING. The first night I stayed in the Ivan Vazov Hut and the second night I slept at the Rila Monastery itself!

Welcome to my channel! My name is Emily Holtmeulen, I'm from the Netherlands and I really like to travel and experience new things. Recently, I bought a camera and started filming my journey. I filmed so many beautiful things and I am so so so excited to share them with the world!

The first video will be on August 1st, 2022. From there on, I will post 2 videos every week. Firstly, there will be many videos about Bulgaria and after these videos, I will post about my semester abroad: Outdoor leadership in Norway.

I hope you enjoy as much as I did, thanks for watching :)

Lots of love,
Emily Holtmeulen
