- The title of this CZcams video is not one I love. As we have been traveling the world for the past 2 and a half years we have heard rumors and stereotypes about many of the countries we have visited. But there was a shocking trend that we discovered as we researched our 24th country. It was the Unhappiest. According to a eurostat report, in 2015, it ranked the lowest in the European Union in life satisfaction. By 2022, things still hadn't gotten better. It ranked at the bottom of the happiness index from the global economy .com. So as we toured the country for two months, we decided to chat with the locals here to see how cheerful the people were. This is Europe's Unhappiest country.
In case you are new here, we are Will and Katy and we are a married couple that hopes to show you what it is like to travel and shop around the world in 2023!

Seriously had no idea Bulgaria was #1 in EU on this ranking. That theatre and sunset, absolutely stunning. Guys - that pinky jersey with the number 10 of Messi is the best, viva Miami! You guys exploring markets are the incredible. Will glad you found that patch, I'm a bit behind on this now, missed a few on some trips, will need to buy online haha. Beautiful drone shots of the city and people don't seem so "unhappy" at the end. Love the breaking stereotypes approach, keep up the amazing work and belated happy birthday!
We had no idea either until we started to do our research. The theatre was amazing. So happy we finally got to see a show in a place like that. Messi #1. Can image it was a little tough in to find the patches in some of the areas you have been in lately. Thanks about drone shots! We certainly could not back up the data about how the people were unhappy. Thanks Ale!
At 14:30 when the classical music played showing the old town and ruins I could put that on repeat and I could take a nap.. it was relaxing all the way around lol
Nice! Bulgaria is very chill.
Love the singing fountains! Reminds me of the fountain we saw in Barcelona.
We'll have to make sure to see the singing fountains when we make it to Barcelona.
The play looks amazing! My son Trent was the lead in Aida when he was a teenager ;-)
That's so cool! You have a very talented family!
BEAUTIFUL sunset at the theater! Really a beautiful place. I can't believe you are on your 24th country. Definitely something to be happy (not sad) about!
Sunset was incredible! Totally different from any other backdrop we have ever had for sunset. We're really starting to collect countries. It makes us very happy.
Happy belated birthday... in an unhappy place that I know YOU both will make happy ;-)
Thank you! 😃
Looks like a fun day. Those ice cream bars looked soo good.
Hey there! It was a lot of fun. The ice cream was indeed delicious!
WOOHOOO, cheers from Sunny Beach - World's #1 Beach Resort!!!
Hey there! We LOVED Sunny Beach. We didn't vlog anything because we were just enjoying the beach so much. ❤️ 🇧🇬
@@WITYTRAVELS I am from Canada and have been living here for 11 years...20 minute walk to Nesebar!!
@@chewylandlivethat's awesome!
Wow very beautiful place
It really is! Thanks friend!
I think we’d be happy there! The prices are so much cheaper than here and it looks clean and picturesque, sunsets for days, what’s not to like! The show looked amazing, what an experience. You guys look so happy. Wine in draft? Bizarre concept. I’ve actually been to Nessebar back in my cruise ship days. I don’t remember much about it, but I remember it was cheap!! It was nice to see it again. Varna looked like a beautiful place too. Cheers guys and keep on exploring. 🍻
Ya'll seem happy everywhere! Prices are certainly good for tourists in Bulgaria. We really enjoyed Bulgaria. That's why we were there 2 months. You saw quite a lot during your cruising days! Varna was a pleasant surprise. Thanks friends! 🍻
Seeing a tire in the water behind that seagull 😢. Love the cobblestone streets!
Yea.. the beach cities in Bulgaria are really cool. And the people seem pretty happy and friendly to us!
Great video guys! We’ve actually found Hungary to seem more “unhappy” than the last 11 countries we’ve been, including Bulgaria. Interesting!
Thanks a lot for your comment.! We have not been to Hungary yet but thanks for the heads up!
We like Bulgaria !! Hopefully things cheer up for them ✨🧙♂️
Same!! Thanks for commenting!
Guys 😂 the couple making out in your video. I’m dead 💀
That's how babies are born!
What an interesting idea for a video!! And btw, so cool that you've already been to 24 countries!!
We have been cooking through our country count! Thanks, it's hard to find a topic related to a country, but this one came together.
We thought the same thing! 👏 We’d also feel the urge to challenge such a claim and find out for ourselves.
Wow I didn't realise Bulgaria is the unhappiest country in Europe! The show at the Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis looked spectacular, as did the sky before the show started! Nice to see the fountains with some water in, they were all dry when I visited! Love the beer in the vending machine - don't tell the kids! I really like the look of Nessebar with the old ruins and friendly shops. Was that an impression or did Borat deliver a few lines for this video? I swear it was him!! All the way to Bulgaria to see the world's oldest gold and it's in Chi-town all along - that's nothing but rotten luck! I think I spotted my next car at the end there... great video!
Most countries have some kind of label, but that is not a good one. At least we disproved the data. That was a perfect night for a show. Have you been to a performance in an ancient theatre? That was our first one. Fountains without water is like a day without sunshine. We did have Borat in the video, but since he didn't show his face, we didn't have to pay him anything! At least I have a new bucket-list item for when we return to the States! You would have a ball; luxury car shopping in Bulgaria. Thanks friend!
Hope your birthday 🎂 🎉 celebration went super well Will. Nicaragua postcard in Bulgaria 😂. Seaman, sailor and I'm just a land sailor. Nice video y'all 😎🙏🏻.
Thank you! It was a great way to celebrate my birthday. That postcard find was hilarious. Thanks Sailor Eddie!
Greetings from a Plovdiv resident :) Thank you for a great video and showing a different side to our small and beautiful, but usually underlooked country.
We do have internal troubles and baggage from the eastern bloc times that does make many people unhappy, however there are plenty nice and happy ones as well (some of which you have shown in the video) and I hope they will continue increasing with time and both us Bulgarians and foreigners be it expats or tourists can appreciate the country more and more.
Happy travels!
Thank you so much for the comment! We really enjoyed our time in Bulgaria. Everyone was pleasant to us and we really enjoyed our time. ❤️🇧🇬
It’s a beautiful place - and we’re only seeing happy, friendly people here!

As a Bulgarian I really enjoyed this video, great job !
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️🇧🇬
Beer in a vending machine?! CRAZY!
It's wild out here!
Funny one of my cousins got a thing he does when he sees people over doing it, kissing in public. He walks up behind them and say “ oh yea dems the good kiss’s “ in like this really childish playful voice with this huge smile on his face. 😂😂😂 the 3 times I’ve seen him do it the people automatically stopped and just walked away embarrassed.
That's so funny! We'll have to try that next time! 😂😂
I had a feeling it was going to be Bulgaria interesting.
Good hunch! Thanks for the comment.
Brother where are you from
Hey! I'm from Florida in the USA. Where are you from?
@@WITYTRAVELS I'm from moon 🌝🌙

@@WITYTRAVELS 😱😉😂😅
In 2013-2019 yes. But i dont find that people in bulgaria are unhappier than in germany. I really liked it.
We really liked Bulgaria too! Thanks for the comment.
Just to point out that we bulgarians are not UNHAPPY, as in living gloom lives. Like we in general like to complain about everything and anything, so whenever people are asked if they're happy with their situation, most people would say "No". That does not mean we're not happy in general, lmao :D Then you have Finnish people who are claimed to be the happiest, yet for some reason they look gloomier even, lol. I just can't take this ranking seriously :D
Well said! We met a lot more Happy People in Bulgaria than Finland. Thanks for the comment! ❤🇧🇬
Geez that place looks beyond boring😴
Thanks for the comment.
Just like your life.
