Tiffany and I met in Sofia, Bulgaria, and we have embarked on a road trip across the country. We toured the gorgeous city Sofia and learned about its cultural and historical significance during the Cold War. We then traveled South and visited the remote Rila Monastery on our way to Melnik, the smallest town in the country. There, we toured a vineyard and indulged ourselves in a wine tasting. Our next stop was the city of Plovdiv, which still contains an abundance of ancient Roman ruins. Our final stop in the country is the Belogradchik Fortress, an ancient Roman stronghold. Tiffany and I hiked in the rock formations above the fortress, where we were met with some the most extraordinary landscape views we had ever seen.
