Teodora Hadjiyska , also known as Teddy , is a hiker, adventurist, explorer, traveler, and survivor . In the last episode, Teddy talks about her horrific accident that almost cost her life.

Rumors such as a Yeti was involved in their deaths. Some say it was a UFO ,. Radiation from a Russian bomb , Other say it was an avalanche that was the cause of the hikers deaths.
