2022 was a turbulent year. For some of my friends and acquaintances it proved fruitful, whilst for others, myself included, it was best described as downright draining. I know for a fact, though, that complaining won’t help – getting stuck…
I first read Butterfly when I was about 16 or 17 years old. To my child-like psyche (yes, we used to still be children at that age back then), the book was a bit much, yet absolutely fascinating. For those…
2020 came and passed and neither one of us got COVID-19. Cool, I thought to myself, apparently we’ll be speared. Boy, was I wrong. On the 11th of January 2021, Ellie returned from work with all the terrifying symptoms. She…
If you’re searching Google for credit score or credit rating in the UK, you’ll end up finding a million articles containing tons and tons of tips. Some of them are very useful, and some of them are just too much…
Thinking of having a dog in London? People will tell you that London is not a place for that; it’s too crowded, too dirty, too hectic, too… There are a lot of ways to describe London. One thing is for…
Since the very first time we went to the Kosovo Houses Complex in the Rhodope mountain we keep recommending it to everyone we meet. It’s absolutely lovely and the closeness of some incredible places that you can visit only makes…
Ellie and I have always enjoyed food. Our preference is strictly home-cooked meals and that has a lot to do with our love for old-school values. We firmly believe that when the family spends time preparing their food together the…
In Bulgaria we’ve never celebrated pancake day. But we have, and still do, celebrate the concept of family and this is mostly what pancakes are about for us. Bulgarian pancakes are much more than merely food: we eat them on…
Couple of days ago Ellie and I had the pleasure of attending the biggest yet citizenship ceremony in London, organised with the upcoming Brexit in mind. Instead of creating a lengthy post this time we decided we’ll try and craft…
Disclaimer: this article is intended to grow in time so it won’t currently include all ice-skating rinks in London. Give us a year, though, and we’ll likely have tried every possibility 😀 Ellie and I are definitely not pros in…
Back in the day when Ellie and I used to organize a trip it took us typically longer than the trip itself. Researching places, reading about them from as many sources as possible and then saving everything relevant so we…
It was Ellie’s second Sunday in London and were still setting up our place so we were out running errands all day. The plan, in our typical style, was ambitious and barely achievable. An hour or so on the bus…
London is famous for its multiple transportation options and I have to agree: they feel limitless! But when last week I needed to change a flat and move over 8 different luggage items singlehandedly, I realised that what I know…
It was barely my second week as a Londoner, and I still had no idea what my first post would be about. I wanted it, of course, to be mind-blowing; something that will urge people to book the next flight…
Last month I had not one, but two business trips to the UK. The trips, to my pleasure, combined time in London and Liverpool, and I could not wait to explore both cities. Even though I had actually lived in London…
Remember that time when you had the option to use easy luggage storage, but instead, you chose to drag your suitcase around for the 9 hours of layover you had? Yeah, me neither. Let’s be honest – this would be…
Couple of days before Easter work pressure caught up with me. I love my job (I am a digital marketer) but even so every now and then I need an escape from the world I exist in. Exactly at this…
Ice skating is without a doubt one of our most favorite things to do during winter. It’s fun, it’s a great exercise for the hips, it warms you up, and you usually end up laughing a lot. So, without any…
Mastering life is a utopia – after all, if achieving it was easy (or possible) there wouldn’t be so many self-help books out there. But! Moving forward in life is possible. Actually – it’s rather easy. The minute we consciously…
If you’ve come to this link hoping to see an answer to the question “Should I send flowers to a woman?” I’ll have to disappoint you. I do not know the answer. No woman is like the other one and…
