Back to today's episode...

Plovdiv, Bulgaria is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Walking through the Old Town is like walking through an open museum, with its cobblestone streets, centuries-old houses, and ancient masterpieces — including the Roman amphitheater, where you can still watch shows.

But this isn’t a city frozen in time.

Named a European Capital of Culture, it's a city of festivals and creative energy, especially in districts like Kapana (“the Trap”).

Today I’m speaking with my friend Zlatina Ervenlieva, a world traveler, tour guide, Bulgarian native, and all around fantastic spirit.

In this episode, you’ll hear insider travel tips on what to see, do, and savor in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and beyond.

Get on the waitlist to join Zlatina and I in Bulgaria for a trip of a lifetime in May.
