About me
Hello! I am a digital marketing specialist, blogger, craft consultant, amateur photographer, and former archaeologist. I have lived in Sofia my entire life and have witnessed significant changes in the city's culture, society, and landscape.
I have a passion for creating a map of Sofia's art, craft, and inspirational locations. If you're searching for places like these, feel free to explore my articles here.
Why Sofia?
Sofia has always been my place - I grew up, I studied and now I work here.
Sofia has many different faces and can offer a lot of (hidden) treasures for those who love to explore and wander around.
One thing I really appreciate is its fast development over the past few years, which puts it closer to other modern European capitals.
Where can you find me online?
"Slanchogled" is probably the oldest craft and art supplies store I know and still one of the best in Sofia. Going there is a favourite ritual of mine...

The meatballs are usually served with cabbage salad, lyutenitsa dip & fries. As a Bulgarian, I find kyufte to be a comforting dish that never disappoints.

Here is a hidden gem - a cute tram stop: Vishneva (which means sour cherry in Bulgarian), a small, charming wooden house in the forest.

"Gelateria Naturale" is my favourite ice-cream place in Sofia. It has 100% natural ingredients and it's absolutely delicious! Prices are really good, too.
