Not many people know the second largest city in Bulgaria. There are traces that people settled here in the 6th millennium BCE – that is more than 8000 years ago. In 2019 it will be the European Capital of Culture.

Golden and cold! With the last rays of the day it was very nice
My mother got me an Eurorail ticket when I was 15, and together with two friends, we adventured into France. This was the beginning of a new addiction. I do like to take pictures, so one thing leads to another. On this site, I want to share some of my pictures and some of my trips with you! Now I am on the road for more than 8 months every year. Visiting old friends and making new friends while exploring this big blue ball.
