We woke reasonably late following the feast and free flowing wine the night before. After gathering ourselves and our packs, we headed down to our homestay family’s small dining room for breakfast.
Refreshingly, what was expected of her was the same thing that was expected of Lara Stone: to take a beautiful picture.
We were making our way to the Rila Mountains, where we were visiting the Rila Monastery where we enjoyed scrambled eggs, toast, mekitsi, local jam and peppermint tea.
We wandered the site with other tourists
Yet strangely the place did not seem crowded. I’m not sure if it was the sheer size of the place, or whether the masses congregated in one area and didn’t venture far from the main church, but I didn’t feel overwhelmed by tourists in the monastery.
Headed over Lions Bridge and made our way to the Sofia Synagogue, then sheltered in the Central Market Hall until the recurrent (but short-lived) mid-afternoon rain passed.
Feeling refreshed after an espresso, we walked a short distance to the small but welcoming Banya Bashi Mosque, then descended into the ancient Serdica complex.
We were exhausted after a long day of travel, so we headed back to the hotel and crashed.
I had low expectations about Sofia as a city, but after the walking tour I absolutely loved the place. This was an easy city to navigate, and it was a beautiful city – despite its ugly, staunch and stolid communist-built surrounds. Sofia has a very average facade as you enter the city, but once you lose yourself in the old town area, everything changes.
Clothes can transform your mood and confidence. Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity. I like to be real. I don’t like things to be staged or fussy. I think I’d go mad if I didn’t have a place to escape to. You have to stay true to your heritage, that’s what your brand is about.
I was born and raised in the vibrant state of New Jersey. From an early age, her passion for storytelling and the written word became evident. My journey led me to the bustling city of New York, where I pursued higher education, honing my skills in journalism and literature.
A Glimpse into My Life
I grew up in a small community in the busy town of Los Angeles. Surrounded by the beautiful ocean, I began surfing at the young age of 12. I grew up in a big family of 14 brother and sisters and was heavily involved in sports.

My unique perspective and insightful analysis quickly garnered attention; I established as a prominent figure in the field. My journey in sports extended beyond reporting; I ventured into authorship, producing compelling narratives that captured the essence of athletes’ lives and the spirit of the games they played.
With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, I rose through the ranks, eventually assuming the role of Editor in Chief. In this influential position, I brought innovative approach to the editorial process, steering publications towards new heights of success.
Beyond my professional achievements, I am devoted mother of 6 children including two sets of twins. Balancing the demands of a high-profile career with the joys and challenges of motherhood, I exemplify resilience and determination. My ability to navigate both worlds speaks volumes about my strength and commitment to my family and career.
