Elena

Elena is a Bulgaria-based travel and mobility writer currently living in Sofia. She moved to Bulgaria several years ago, originally drawn by the country’s diverse landscapes and the opportunity to explore a part of Europe that remains less discovered by mass tourism.

Since then, she has travelled extensively across the country — from the Black Sea coast in Varna and Burgas to the mountain regions and smaller towns that most visitors never reach.

Elena speaks English and Bulgarian, and has a strong understanding of local travel habits, road conditions, and regional differences. Her background combines travel writing with hands-on experience in mobility and route planning, which allows her to create guides that are both practical and easy to follow.

Her work focuses on real travel situations — how to get from one place to another efficiently, which routes are worth taking, and how to avoid common mistakes when travelling in Bulgaria. Rather than relying on generic recommendations, Elena builds her guides on personal experience, regularly testing routes, pick-up locations, and travel scenarios.

As part of the Rentiago Travel Blog, she collaborates with local experts and car rental professionals to ensure that every piece of content reflects current conditions and real-world use.
Elena is especially passionate about independent travel — the freedom to explore coastal roads, mountain landscapes, and hidden local places at your own pace. Her goal is to help travellers experience Bulgaria in a more authentic, flexible, and comfortable way.
