Trails and Tales #1
Standing at the intersection of history and talent
Welcome back to Life Intelligence and the new section/series Trails and Tales, where you can read stories from the road as Lulu and I roam around. Yes, expect lots of pictures, too! I’ve also revived my Instagram account @coachvalentinap. Follow for daily inspiration and a quick connection.
Bulgaria prides itself on ancient history. Most of it exists in ruins. But this one place still lives and breathes the mountain air and stories of rebels and poets. Lulu ran in the ghost steps of Indzhe Voyvoda, a fierce leader (voivoda) of an armed band of outlaws (haiduti) in the 17th century when Bulgaria still suffered under Ottoman Empire rule.
