It is simple living, but filled with love for the land that gives life, which holds creativity and beauty in every single thing — gorgeous landscapes whispering about the magnificent nature of that small, unknown, unique place on Earth called Bulgaria.

The variety of many nationalities explains the strange but extremely unique mix of cultures that have reached a common state of existence out of respect for each other.

Is Bulgaria a poor country? Though the wallet is light, the soul nevertheless doesn’t stop dreaming nor striving for a better future, toward a brighter tomorrow.

Is Bulgaria a small country? It sure is, and at the same time, everything is available at one hand distance – the seaside, the breathtaking (figurative and metaphrastic) mountains, the cuteness of the small quiet villages right next to charm of the big city where you can hide yourself in the crowd.

What keeps us still alive and gives us hope? Well, humor… in all its forms. I know, crazy, huh?
