Hi everyone ! I’m Ange and I’m French. I join ABS for seven months and today I go to make a little summary about my first month in Bulgaria !

After my various flights, trains, and buses, I arrived for my first night in Sofia, to be honest I didn't really feel any stress but a kind of fullness, I was happy to start a new adventure, just with myself, without any help, it was for me a way to take my independence at that moment.

So I took the metro to Sofia to my Airbnb and that's where it all began. I arrived in the city metro and met my new friend: the Cyrillic. It took me a long time to find my way and google translation was my best ally at the time.

Once I got there I put my stuff down and went for a walk around Sofia even though given my time of arrival and the fatigue of the trip I couldn't see much. It was only a postponement.

The next day I had to take a bus that would take me to the city where I was going to do my volunteering. We're not going to lie to each other, but we're going to go for it.

After a good two hours by bus, I finally arrive in Blagoevgrad, which we will call Blago between us.

I had my first day at the office with the others where I met all the other volunteers, each one more adorable than the next.

Now let's do a quick zapping of this month's highlights:

My second night in Blagoevgrad and with all volunteers in Ivan’s birthday. Very cool night with gorgeous people in nice place and good food.

My first concert in Blagoevgrad, in the American University, during this night I discovered the amazing talent about Sofie for sing. Its a very cool night for the music lover I am.

New volunteer in Blago: Aziz. A very cool guy from Georgia. 👌

And Veronika, very sweat ukraine girl 🥰

This event is so cool, « l’intercultural night », lot of food and sharing about different nationality, culture and tips. During this night I learned 2 new dance, one is Bulgarian and the seconde one is Macedonian dance. I have a very good memory about this night.

And for finish, I'm going talk about the best, the travel in Plovdiv with the others volunteers with a lot of laughs and memories.
