Looking for a quick getaway in the beautiful country with looong history full with dramatic turning points, yummy food and a little bit strange culture - yes, maybe you didn't guessed it - Bulgaria. If you like eating amazing food 🍲, visiting incredible historical sites 🌇, and exploring young and alternative neighborhoods, a city break to Sofia will be exactly what you need. Step back in time to Communist Bulgaria of the 1980’s at the Red Flat. ☎️ Sofia seems to be one of Europe’s most affordable cities to fly in and out. Then look no further. Join me on this wonderful, long weekend trip to Sofia 🏙️

About me! From a very young age I knew I loved to travel and explore the world , but for me traveling meant so much more than simple moving from point A to point B. Traveling can be so much more. It is a form of investment in one self, an opportunity to gather experiences, immerse yourself in different cultures and broaden your horizons. Now I'm 51 and am in organizing trips and excursions. From the scouring the different flight agencies for an opportunity that catches my eye to meticulously planning the transportation and accommodation of each day of the trip so that I can fit just one more thing 🧞‍♀️. It all fills me up with so much anticipation just imagining the experience. I am aware that the challenges I may encounter can be exhausting, but that only reminds me of exhaustion I felt when trekking up the steep volcano of Stromboli island. The harder the task – the greater the rewards. I am well aware of the difficulties that navigating an international environment bring. I am always excited to meet new people especially of likeminded individuals. I would love to hear about all of your experiences traveling around the globe. I doubt that the language would prove much of a barrier as throughout my life I have had the opportunity to pick up not only Bulgarian and English, but also Macedonia and little Serbian and Russian, allowing me to much better immerse in the different cultures and traditions around the world.
