Hello everybody! It maybe boring for you to read about Bulgarian man travelling in his own country. Actually I went many countries but this is beginning of my blog so I start here.

Plovdiv is Bulgaria's second city after Sofia Capital, my homtown. It is very old city with Thracian, Greek, Bulgar, Byzantin, Ottoman and finally Soviet influence. Named originally Phillipopolis, after Alexander's father.
