New blog is live: Plovdiv, Bulgaria!🇧🇬
If you plan to visit Bulgaria, add Plovdiv to your itinerary! Located approximately a 1.5-2 hour car ride from Sofia, the capital of the country, it’s a convenient day trip destination with numerous historic attractions.
Early inhabitants occupied this area many thousands of years ago. Then the Hellenistic and Roman eras came: Philippopolis was a prosperous and well-known city founded on the seven hills in the 4th century BC and named after Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great.
Later, it became the main city of the Roman province of Thracia. Plovdiv is located right on its site, and that’s why it has numerous ancient landmarks!
Now it’s a modern city guarding its historical heritage. Huge wisterias, souvenir shops, museums, and excavated landmarks – tap link in bio!

ad That’s not a secret that Japanese cuisine is one of my favorite ones, and I was so excited to pay a visit to @makinorisoho, an new handroll bar in Soho!
The interior is stylish and minimalistic and the main feature is the counter where you can see chefs at work! We ordered cucumbers, Omakase set and handroll set - everything was prepared right in front of us! Such an authentic Japanese experience. They prepare some of the ingredients by themselves such as plum wine, dry-aged fish and they grow through own herbs, and besides that, this way of serving food is traditional and respects the 15 sec rule for eating dishes with nori!
