About

Join me on a journey around Bulgaria…off the beaten trail,
with a slow, but confident pace,
to enjoy the freedom of nature and power of tradition.

My name is Kancho Shipkov. I have been working outdoors for over 25 years now. For more than 15 years, I have been guiding groups or individuals from around the globe across the land of my ancestors, to share its beauty with them.

I often work alone and bear the responsibility and reward of designing and executing programs, custom tailored for my guests. Sometimes, I use the support of close friends who provide logistics or additional expertise to the focus of the tours.

I learned that my guests come back, because they don’t just visit and mark out whatever they see. My challenge is to navigate their perception through the labyrinth of the complex Bulgarian history with the specter of the communist times still somewhere around, to make them communicate with the local people, to encourage them to blend with nature wherever we are, in short – to feel at home.

• About my qualifications – I am a licensed mountain guide, tour guide and leader, Mountain Rescue and first aid instructor, skipper of a sailboat.
