About me

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?
