This week it has snowed almost constantly here in Sofia. I usually don’t like the winter season but at the same time am I happy to be here, as Sofia is one of the most beautiful cities in winter time for me. Yesterday I got inspired while taking a walk and made the movie below, [...]

Yesterday I went to a robot fair here in Sofia that is arranged to show off the projects that the students in the university are working on and for them to make connections. The theme of the robots were supposed to be robots that can help people in their homes, but most of the robots [...]

I can not believe how bad I have been in updating the blog recently. Well, I am still in Bulgaria, thinking of staying here for a while even though the winter probably will arrive within some month(s). Right now the weather is amazing and yesterday I was relaxing on our roof terrass in only a [...]

The last days in Sofia and other Bulgarian cities there have been street gangs in the centers together with massive police- ambulance- and firetruck gatherings during the evening. The reason is a 19 year old kid who was run over and killed last Friday by a Roma man. According to rumors the kill was ordered [...]

One thing I had really missed and looked forward to do again was to climb in Bulgaria. The first weekend after being back in Sofia I went out with a friend to climb two places.

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in graffiti and street art. This type of art is not only temporary and anonymous for the people outside the scene,  but it also tells a lot about local culture and current events. Here below are some of the graffiti I have photographed during [...]

Today I arrived back to Istanbul from my one-week-trip “home” to Sofia. I had a great week climbing, snowboarding, going to vernissages, museums, markets and meeting a lot of friends again.
