Sofia, Bulgaria—where Roman roads, Byzantine faith, and medieval art still guide modern travel. We followed the ancient Via Militaris (today’s E80), visited UNESCO-listed Boyana Church, and rolled east toward Turkey in Shehzadi, our Toyota Tundra. Same road. New borders. Old history doing fine.

From Belgrade to the clouds! 🏔️ Our latest segment takes us across the border into Bulgaria. We drive Shehzadi, our full-size pickup, up the winding roads of Vitosha Mountain and navigate the tight streets of Sofia. From the frescoes of Boyana Church to the gold domes of St. Alexander Nevsky, we explore it all!
