Melnik, Bulgaria, is a little town that many visitors to the country would not know much about. I personally have been here a couple of times on long trips, and it only came onto my own radar recently. Now, it is one of my favorite places in Bulgaria. Melnik is […]
Bulgaria is an amazing country that not enough people get to visit. In fact, many of my own family and friends hardly even knew where it was when I told them I was visiting the first time. Those that DO visit, only really hear about Sofia or Plovdiv. Maybe some […]
On my recent trip to Paris, I flew into Charles De Gaulle Airport. This is usual for anyone that is coming Internationally, especially on long haul flights, as I was. When I flew out a few days later though, I chose to take a budget flight onwards to Bulgaria, only […]
As a full time traveler and Travel Writer, I never really felt that I would be “legit” unless I visited Paris at least once. It seems funny, but there is such a huge hype about the French Capital that says you are not a true traveler unless you have been […]
