Around The World in 80 Plus

Travel

Travel has been one of the most rewarding, enriching experiences of my life. Whether it was my first 'overseas' experience living in England....or running round Southeast Asia with friends - I've met wonderful people and had great adventures. I'll talk a lot about those adventures here. See below some travel pictures that I've taken in the past.

Bulgaria Trip 1 - Part 3

We arrive in Sliven, Bulgaria after a 350 km drive from Sofia, passing sunflower fields and small roadside stops. The town surprises us with mountain views and a beautiful hotel. We meet our interpreter, Galina, learn more about Bo and his foster family, and sense real excitement around this adoption.

Bulgaria Trip 1 - Part 2

Violetta arrives early, confident and prepared—the Bulgarian adoption coordinator now holding our hopes in her hands. Over candid conversations, we learn about her past as a lawyer, the transparent adoption process, and what lies ahead. Most importantly, we discover we’ll soon meet Bo every day, that he already knows about us, and that tomorrow, at last, we’ll meet our son for the first time.

Trip 1 to Bulgaria

As our plane descended into Bulgaria, we were finally about to meet Boji. Until now, he was only a picture—but we already knew he was our son. This trip is the beginning of our journey together.
