Hello Occu V !
After two weeks traveling in the Baltics, we're back in Bulgaria. In case you're new here - we're based in Bulgaria, in a small mountain town. But, we won't be here for long! At the beginning of June, we'll be traveling again. We're planning on visiting Italy, and Switzerland, so make sure to join us on Instagram. I'll be posting again!
