5. Gorgeous shot by @muenchmax who recently caught a sunrise above Veliko Tarnovo, Tsarevets, Bulgaria

Morning views like these are better when shared. Put Bulgaria on your bucket list. 🇧🇬 Today’s sunrise above Veliko Tarnovo was special – @linatesch and I had no idea where to go to catch the early hours of the day and drove blindly towards the highest point around. And found this. Check out @interraileu!

“Racing Extinction” – Airing tonight on the Discovery Channel at 9pm EST and predicted to be the most-watched documentary in history. #RacingExtinction covers the very real possibility that in 100 years, 50% of all species could be gone. The camera takes you #undercover, with women bringing hidden cameras into sushi restaurants that sell contraband meat, and #underwater to witness a diver’s incredible rescue of a 30 ft. Manta Ray – it opens your eyes to the fact that the wildlife trade is second only to the drug market in the world. • Visit our Facebook page to watch the trailer or tune in tonight at 9/8c for the full film. And when it inevitably inspires you to help protect the Earth and its animals, email us at [email protected] and ask about our wildlife conservation opportunities all around the world. #DiscoveryChannel #ProtectOurEarth #Startwith1thing #BestDocumentary #AmazingAnimals #BeautifulMatters #MyEpicRoad #TransformativeTravel #TravelWell #TravelStoke #TLPicks
