  • When I’m in Montreal, I don’t buy nearly enough flowers for my house. It’s too expensive and not that convenient. However, living in Sofia has made me want to start buying flowers more. Flowers here are sold on every street corner for less than a dollar and smell so nice when you’re walking home.
  • This is a subway station in Sofia. In fact, it’s the one I usually choose to live by when I visit in the summer. Serdika is an area of the city where there is a high concentration of ancient ruins. To make the most of them, the city built walkways around them to make it easy to view them while using public transportation and strolling through the city. Like so many cities in Europe, coordinating new construction for modern life while preserving and honouring ancient architecture is a big part of urban planning.
  • There’s something about summer in Europe that makes me want to embrace all the linen things. Linen is such a great summer fabric because it’s breezy and natural and also holds a lot of weight in moisture meaning your sweat doesn’t stick to you but gets absorbed by the fabric and released by the fast-drying fabric. Apparently hemp fabric is even better for this and antimicrobial but harder to come by.
  • Walking around the shady streets of Sofia is one of my favourite ways to spend an afternoon. When I stay for more than a few days, I love getting an Airbnb in the city centre so I'm close to a lot of the cool places and events. That way, everything is within a 30-minute walk, which I'm more than willing to do.
  • Berlin, my time with you was short and kind of crazy, and soon I’ll be sharing content from SOFIA. This will be fourth time in the city and I like to think I know it like a local. Which is far from true, but I get by and my Bulgarian vocabulary and knowledge of Bulgaria is growing tremendously. Stay tuned for more posts from my time there.
  • A few more whacky snaps to share from Berlin! This spot was right outside a parking lot filled with Trabants (Trabi for short), a little German car popular at the height of communism and only produced between 1957 and 1990. It's inherently tied to the Berlin Wall era which is probably why it has a cult following now and is a popular car to rent in and around Checkpoint Charlie.
  • I mentioned this on an earlier post: This month, I fell into the trap of overpacking on my 4-week trip to Europe. Luckily, I'm not shy about admitting my mistakes -- especially if I gained some advice to share. On the blog, find out the lessons I learned and how to avoid making the same mistakes I did. Link in bio as usual. Share your overpacking stories in the comments!
  • I’m trying my best to stay vegan on this trip but it requires a lot more effort asking for substitutions and planning ahead. But sometimes places surprise you by being super flexible and excited about the challenge to keep you fed! Even though German food is not typically the most vegan-friendly, Berlin is a hip modern city that caters to every sort of diet and I kept seeing vegan options in the most unlikely places. Sometimes that just meant removing the meat part of the dish but other times they had full on alternative proteins and cashew cheeses! It’s nice, when traveling for work and in a group, to be able to say “yes, I can also eat here with you.”
