The Upper West Side, NYC Possibly my favorite neighborhood in the city. And not just because it’s my current local hood. It has a lot of places to go and things to do and yet still feels a bit more lived in than some of the more popular tourist spots. But don’t let all the residential streets fool you, there is still actually quite a lot to … [Read more...]

If you had to guess the location, where would … [Read more...]

Belogradchik Bulgaria (The Rocks and Belogradchik Fortress)
Small white town. Or at least that is the meaning of the name when you look it up online. I will have to confirm that with the couple Bulgarians I do actually know. But it was a small town for sure and strangely one of the “most famous” places in Bulgaria. Which may be true given I know nothing about the place. But it was a place my Bulgarian … [Read more...]
