π Hi, Iβm Maria Stoyanova, a Bulgarian feeling like an expat more often than I can imagine β I travel a lot, I write for Lonely Planet, and I live among foreigners all the time. This newsletter is my mission to make life for expats in Sofia a tiny bit easier β and more fun. In my free time, you'll find me spending a snowboarding winter season in Japan, Georgia or Kyrgyzstan, or surfing in the Canaries.
