Hello and welcome to my unique blog, Not So East Of Eden! As the clever name suggest, it relates to a place
located in the East, not on a global scale, but rather in Eastern Europe (yes,
the E in Eden fits perfectly). So, without further suspense, welcome to the
first blog that presents the hidden gems of Bulgaria to a global audience!
For those wondering, Bulgaria is a country on the Balkan peninsula in the Southeast of Europe.
It has a long history, dating back to the early Middle ages, and its beauty is not
scarce. The country is situated in a key place north of Greece and Turkey, and
can offer seaside resorts, ski resorts, urban experiences and is ideal for
backpacking. On top of that, it’s cheap and easily accessible!
Perfect match for all tastes
and preferences, the climate in Bulgaria ranges from roasting hot to “I can’t
feel my face”. They even say that The Weeknd song was inspired from his trip to
Pamporovo!

Anyway, Bulgaria is still
viewed by some as a distant and culturally different to the Western world
country, with some sort of a “Beyond the Wall” reputation. It is definitely not
the destination your co-worker sold his car to visit, and neither do you dream
of it. However, after seeing how much there is to do in my small country from a
first-hand source, you might want to reconsider where to spend your next
vacation.
I myself am from Bulgaria, and my dream is putting my country in the top shelf of tourist destinations, alongside the likes of the Maldives and Hawaii. Ambitious, yes, but not impossible. So, pack your luggage, hop on the journey and you won’t regret it!
