Hello From Sofia, Bulgaria! My First Days, Shopping & Exploring the City

I slept for 18 hours, damaged my credit card and questioned people’s winter jackets plus being catcalled by old men and horribly rude staff in stores (the stores part will be a whole own post)

Welcome to Sofia with me, Emma – Everflow. Not your typical lifestyle travel blogger but here we are! First official post from Sofia but be ready for many more! Two weeks. Yeah. A lot is coming for sure.

Hot, sweaty, a lot of people and strong sun that causes me to have an extreme migraine.

I know I said I would blog when I arrived in Sofia. Well… I just went to a supermarket (Lidl) and bought drinks and water. I went straight to the hotel afterwards and was knocked out for 6 hours!

At night (when I woke up), I went out on the balcony and saw… I don’t know how many flying light objects “playing” around in the sky. I watched them for a few minutes while being on the phone, letting people know that I’m safe.

After that, I went to bed and was knocked out for 12 hours. Yeah… I guess I was a bit tired.

So today I have done some damage to the credit cards. Well, not so much damage except food and drinks. Mostly water. Yes, I know the water is safe to drink in Europe, but there is something special about bottled water.

Today I went shopping for a cabin suitcase. After yesterday, my shoulder is destroyed from carrying the “cabin bag” I took from home. So when I went to Mall of Sofia (I will write about that one later — review etc.), I saw a store with 50% off bags etc., so I went in there and bought the beauty in the picture. Yes.. i bought a brown one. It was the biggest size of cabin suitcase they had.

I also went to Lidl and bought water, Pepsi Max (of course), toothpaste plus toothbrushes and a water bottle.

(The little toiletries box I bought in Sweden with toothpaste and a toothbrush… worthless…)

Of course, I went exploring as well, so below you can see some photos I have taken with my phone today. I had my camera with me, but it’s too hot outside to use it right now, so I’m gonna wait until later and take photos.

Btw, I’m dying in this heat and some people make me raise my eyebrows. Some are walking around in puffer winter jackets… IN THIS HEAT! Meanwhile, I’m over here dying. 💀

The Sofia Hotel AC
International icon. Migraine fighter. Life saver. Occasionally freezes Emma to death.

I will update more, but for now, the AC is my best friend — even though I’m freezing while lying in front of it, it helps with my migraine.
No. I won’t put anything over me — a blanket or something — because if I do, I will be K.O. (knocked out) and sleeping.

Hahaha.

ENJOY A FEW PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN TODAY  (so far)
